Living Cost Advances and Wage Impacts Across 1957
December 1957 saw living costs level off yet finish the year 3.1 percent higher than 1956. A 2.7 percent drop in new car prices offset higher food and housing costs, while factory take-home pay and buying power remained flat from November to December but fell 4 percent for 1957 overall. Federal Reserve cut bank loan rates from 3 to 2.44 percent to spur activity. Meanwhile Indiana University student Thomas A. Roelichen, 23, Vincennes, was charged with embezzling $100 from the Van Orman Suburban Hotel where he worked as night clerk.
