That’s not what GDP measures. GDP measures profit companies are making, not the salaries employees get paid. Also, inflation does not directly correspond to the cost of living either.

Also does he mean yearly inflation, which is just reevaluated monthly? Whereas quarterly GDP growth? JohnDClay quarterly means four times a year.

Exactly, these are completely separate concepts that have no direct relationship with one another.

They’re not directly related though, we often see growing GDP along with growing inflation. It’s a perfectly normal scenario.
