A new Bureau of Labor Statistics index shows a minor dip in the cost of living basis for Lubbock city employees’ bonus, but July’s $67 per month remains unchanged. The index stands at 155.8, down from 156.1 and 156.3 in prior months, still indicating a prewar period cost increase of about 55.8 percent. The rounded $66.96 bonus is paid as the nearest dollar.
The index is cited as 55.4 with implications for wages and city costs. If the figure falls to that level, employment will earn $1 less. Each tenth of a point drop below that will raise city workers' costs by one dollar. The text also notes medieval beds were ornate yet uncomfortable, using mattresses on boards.
