Costs of living rise to record high in September
Washington AP report shows the consumer price index climbed 0.1 percent in September, marking the 13th straight increase and lifting the index to 211.1 of the 1947-49 average. Wages tied to the index rise for about 1.45 million workers, with minor gains in spendable earnings and buying power for factory workers. Food prices fell, offsetting gains as grocery costs dropped 0.8 percent driven by lower produce and meat prices.
