Dollar Purchasing Power Nears Prewar Levels in 1925 Rise
New York May 30 The dollar’s purchasing power for the average American earner stands at 61.1 cents vs prewar 1914. Since 1920 it dipped to 48.9 cents but improved as living costs fell through 1925 and 1926. Despite higher costs, weekly industrial wages are over twice 1914, giving households about a one third higher effective income than at war start. Prices for food stayed steady in April, fuel declined about 4 percent, and rents eased 0.6 percent with many vacancies amid a broad stable trend.
