Inflation Woes: Did PPP loans $25,000 or under to Wyoming businesses contribute to inflation?

12edited

There were 10,256 small businesses in Wyoming which received Paycheck Protection Loans (PPP) of $25,000 or under. These 10,256 businesses received $131,326,874 in total since the COVID-19 pandemic began, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration

Loans of $25,000 were provided to 52 businesses.

The largest loan underneath the $25,000 threshold was $25,000, given to Andrew K Varley CPA, PC.

The average loan amount provided to Wyoming small businesses was $62,961.

One of the biggest drivers causing inflation, which is currently decimating the U.S. economy, is loans. With more money available to residents through the PPP, the purchasing power of that money is diminished, meaning it takes more money to buy the same amount of goods as before.

Economist Mickey D. Levy argued the PPP and many other assistance programs offered during the COVID-19 pandemic sparked the inflation seen in recent months by boosting the economy beyond what it could reasonably handle.

Roughly $800 billion was injected into the U.S. economy while interest rates were low, causing people to overextend themselves at the time to land in trouble in the future, he claimed.

A 2022 study found that the PPP spent between $169,000 and $258,000 to protect one job. With the average salary of a small-business worker being around $58,000, the study found the program overspent by roughly 75 percent.
