Food Distribution Costs Rise Faster Than Retail Prices
Washington AP The Agriculture Department reports labor costs in moving food from farms to consumers rose faster in 1969 than retail food prices. Wages in August ranged from 2.54 per hour for retail workers to 3.01 in wholesale. Overall, wages, salaries and fringe benefits climbed at least six percent from 1968, higher than the 3.9 percent average wage rise over the previous decade. Labor cost per unit of food increased about 28 percent in the last ten years, roughly matching retail price increases. Farm share of the food dollar rose to 41 cents in July-September from 38 cents a year earlier, due in part to higher livestock prices. The Agriculture Department will issue its Farm Prices report on Friday November 28, covering prices through November 15 and production expense indexes.
