Cost of Living Hits New High in July
Washington reports July living costs rose to a record high with the index moving from 127.6 to 128.1, up about 0.4 percent. Higher food prices driven the gain along with gasoline, sporting goods, used cars and women’s clothing. Labor officials say half the rise reflects seasonal factors and rising demand as the economy recovers from recession. The wage impact includes at least 12 500 factory workers gaining higher pay and boosts for auto and related industries. Buying power for a typical factory worker with three dependents fell by 20 cents, reducing earnings by about 0.5 percent from June to July.
