In the 12-state Midwest region, energy prices – which includes gasoline, electricity, and natural gas – jumped 33.3% in October over the last 12 months, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
That's largely due to a spike in prices for gasoline – up 53% in the Midwest over the year.
The Midwest region is composed of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
