Carter administers tweaks to wage and price limits
The Carter administration revised wage and price standards easing fringe benefits limits while maintaining a 7 percent cap on wages. It exempts most pension increases and some health costs, closes loopholes on price hikes, and asks professionals to cap price increases at 6.5 percent. The changes respond to complaints from business and labor as part of a broader inflation program expected to last years.
