Increase Reported In Living Cost Rise In June
Washington AP reports the cost of living rose two tenths of a percent in June to a new high. Major factors were higher prices for used cars gasoline and household textiles. Labor statistics commissioner Ewan Clague cited nonfood commodities as the largest factor while noting food costs rose modestly. He highlighted higher net spendable earnings for factory workers and a record buying power in June. The consumer price index stood at 127.6 percent of the 1745 average, up from last December. Retail food prices increased about two tenths, driven by higher fresh fruit and vegetable costs including a 6 percent rise in fresh fruit and a 13 percent jump for apples amid low storage supplies and watermelon price increases.
