Living Cost Reaches Another Record High in July
Washington reports the cost of living rose to 123.9 in July, a new peak. The 1947-49 average cost index has risen for 21 of 23 months with transportation, food, and medical care driving the jump. Gasoline up 2.2 percent as local price wars end. Used cars up 29 percent while new car prices hold. Pork eggs and milk high yet and fruit and veg show declines. Ewan Clague forecasts little overall change soon, citing offsetting effects from clothing and new car models.
