Living Costs Rise Slightly in September Record
The government reported a 0.3 percent rise in September living costs, pushing the index to 117.1 percent of the 1947–49 base. The increase, led by all major consumer groups except food, leaves the level about 2 percent higher than a year ago and 2.8 percent above January 1953. The rise is expected to trigger wage boosts of two to four cents an hour for about 300,000 workers, mainly in electrical manufacturing including GE plants, as wage rates are partly tied to the index.
