May Living Costs Steady at 105.2 Percent Basis
Living costs were unchanged in May at the 105.2 level set in April. Lower food and gasoline costs offset higher housing and medical care, keeping the index at 105.2 of the 1957-59 base.

After-tax earnings for factory workers rose to a new peak as hours and wages increased, with a family of four earning 360.5 weekly net after taxes, surpassing the prior high of 85.70.
