The Daily Money: Should you put your vaccine status on your resume? Plus, CPI jumps 6.8%

Phew, we made it through another week. Hello, Daily Money readers. Jayme Deerwester with you again this Friday.

Inflation hit a 39-year high in November. The consumer price index jumped 6.8% from a year earlier, the fastest pace since 1982, as prices surged for staples such as food and gasoline, as well as new and used cars, rent and medical care.

💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY:  A few years ago, job-hunters were debating whether to put their college graduation year on their résumés. Now, some candidates are listing their vaccine status. Does it help or hurt? The short answer: It probably won’t hurt and could help you land a position.
