Wage-price guideline may be adjusted if inflation worsens
Labor Secretary Ray Marshall said the Carter administration may loosen its wage guideline if inflation rises and Congress rejects the real wage insurance tax credit for workers who comply. He noted inflation might need a lower ceiling than 7 percent and that real wage insurance could deter the need to relax rules. The plan ties a 1 percent tax credit per point inflation above 7 percent to a cap of 10 percent inflation and $600 per worker.
