Inflation Pressures Greene County Families Hard
The article notes rising living costs since 1970 and shows Greene County households must earn more to maintain purchasing power. It cites a 39 percent overall cost increase and provides examples: a $7 000 income needs about $9 730. $9 000 to $12 500. $12 000 to $16 680. $16 000 to $22 240 to break even. Average after tax income rose to $10 670 by 1975 from $7 100 in 1970. Higher taxes and inflation push more income into higher tax brackets, eroding purchasing power and inflating the budget with food costs.
