Inflation Rise Triggers Small Pay Increases for Millions
Cost of creeping inflations may have set in as last month’s rise appears seasonal. About 1,236,000 workers tied to price index pay will gain 1 to 3 cents an hour, including 850,000 railroad, Pullman, and railway express workers whose semi annual raises track consumer prices. Electrical equipment and aircraft sectors add roughly 0.01 to 0.02 dollar boosts for 370,000 workers, with General Electric, Syvania, Douglas, Northrop, McDonnell, and Hayes named. About 16,000 others in various industries get 2 cent increases. Foreseeable inflation in autos, gasoline, and fuels could offset a slight decline in food prices in the October index to be issued next month.
