Living Costs Rise 3 Percent in 1956 Year
Washington January data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows consumer prices up 0.2 percent in December and 3 percent for the year 1956. Food and clothing held steady, transportation eased, but overall living costs increased mainly due to housing. The CPI hit 118 percent of the 1947-49 base, aided by higher housing costs amid suggested influence from rising interest rates. Factory workers’ spendable earnings also reached a new peak, with weekly earnings averaging 84.05 and after-tax income for two dependents at 69.10 and for three dependents at 76.54.
