April Living Costs Show Stable Auto Prices and Rent Declines
The month saw stable auto prices amid dealer concessions due to high stock. Rent declines were modest but marked the first drop since 1942 rent controls, while food prices rose sharply for potatoes by 30 percent from March and 60 percent from last April. Factory take home pay and purchasing power reached record highs, with weekly earnings for workers with dependents at 69.05 dollars and 61.78 for those with none, mainly due to shorter hours offsetting higher hourly rates.
