\"\"July 28, 2021<\/i>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Parents can expect to shell out more for school supplies this year.<\/p>\n

The average cost per student could\u00a0reach as much as $270<\/a>, up from the $250 spent in 2020, according to a KPMG survey of more than 1,000 adults across the United States in May. Parents of preschool-aged children are planning to spend as much as 32 percent more this year and college-aged parents are looking at a 13 percent increase.<\/p>\n

\u201cA combination of supply shocks to U.S. manufacturing and abruptly heightened consumer demand for goods, including school supplies, has created the perfect storm for this scenario to play out,\u201d according to KPMG economists.<\/p>\n

Why not support your union brothers and sisters when you hit the stores for back-to-school shopping this year? Many items on your children\u2019s lists are available union made.<\/p>\n
