Wage Gains Lift Purchasing Power in 1934 Survey

Food and clothing gains are smaller, while price increases already existed before wage boosts. The study says expanding employment and wage growth support a moderate recovery, though labor disturbances remain a recurring feature in the recovery from depression.
