Living Cost Jumps Again in February Report
The Labor Department said the consumer price index rose four tenths of a percent in February marking a sixth straight record. The index averaged 11.7 percent of the 1979 base, reflecting a 3.6 percent rise over the year and reducing the purchasing power of workers. Despite a weekly pay bump of 17 cents to $74.99, higher prices outpaced gains, while about 135,000 workers under cost of living escalator contracts, mainly in aviation, received two cents per hour increases.
