Economic index signals weakness and wage gains amid inflation
April data show the composite index at 1263, 26.3 percent above the 1967 base but 12 percent below the October 1878 peak. A two-quarter output drop signals recession, while first-quarter growth was 0.6 percent at annual rate. Labor data reveal weekly earnings up 8 percent year over year, but inflation eroded real income by 4 percent. Women‑headed families fared better with 12 percent earnings growth, yet median weekly income remained low at 220 dollars for such households.
