Living Costs Rise Sharply In Public Estimation
Gallup results show a family of four needing $119 per week to make ends meet, up from $127 in November and from $101 in 1967. Since 1937 the public’s weekly minimum has climbed from near zero to a median around $149, with food costs driving most of the expense as nonfarm families average about $37 weekly for food.
