Wholesale Price Index Climbed 15 Percent in 1950
Iowa Business Digest reports a 15 percent rise in wholesale prices in 1950 while consumer prices grew 6 percent. Johnson notes most inflation occurred in the last six months as foods and house furnishings led consumer increases. Bank deposits hit a record 176 billion and corporate profits rose to 40.2 billion, though farm earnings fell to 13 billion for the year.
