Inflation can be scary for investors because many of them see inflation as eroding their investment returns. This true to some extent but depending on the investment, it can go up with inflation, offsetting much of inflation’s negative effects.

“The strong willingness of companies to hold onto labor is a strong signal of the difficulty of replacing workers,” said John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics in New York, told Reuters. “At this point we would expect another robust gain in jobs (in March) and a drop in the unemployment rate to 4.0 percent.”

However, inflation hasn't really been an issue for several decades... that usually means that sooner or later, we're going to see inflationary pressure again. And with the Federal Reserve still near all time lows for interest rates, it could be hard for it to combat it at the current time.
