Living Costs At New High In July
Washington reports that food prices reached an all time July high and lifted the cost of living for the eleventh straight month. The Bureau of Labor Statistics records prices up 0.5 percent from June and 3.2 percent higher than a year ago. Factory workers saw wage gains but their buying power fell versus June, with a three cent-an-hour boost under escalator clauses in some contracts. The rise is attributed mainly to sharp food price increases.
