Price-Wage Study Defending Labor?
Washington — A UPI report says the Johnson administration is building a defense of organized labor amid claims high wages drive price increases. A forthcoming government study shows unit labor costs for U.S. manufacturers declined from 1960 to 1965, then rose in 1966 mainly due to higher social security taxes. The study notes 9.5 percent cost of living rise since 1960, with wages up 20 percent and profits up 81 percent. In steel and auto, rising labor costs were blamed for price increases, yet productivity remained high in these sectors.
