Cost of Living Edges Up Despite Wage Offsets
The government reported a four tenths of one percent rise in the cost of living for the month ending April 15, wiping out most of January’s decline. Auto workers face an effective 1 cent hourly pay cut due to the new figure being below the January 15 base, though a 4 cent raise under a productivity clause offsets the loss. The mid-April index hits a record high for the January 15 base, standing at 188.7 percent of the 1935-39 average, 2.2 percent above a year ago and 10.9 percent higher than June 1950.
