High Wages Are Met by High Prices
A bulletin from the Bureau of Labor in Washington shows living costs rose to the highest levels since 1890. Food prices climbed across 1906 with bacon, potatoes, eggs, and flour marking large gains, while wages in manufacturing rose, offsetting some costs. Overall, workers saw higher hourly wages and weekly earnings in 1905 and 1908 compared with prior ten-year averages, though price increases outpaced some wage gains.
