With skilled labor at $1 per hour and unskilled at 50 cents, 60 hours or 120 hours of labor buys a year’s worth of wheat for an average family. Despite this, flour consumption fell from 235 pounds per person in prewar years to 171 pounds for the year ending July 1, 2010, due to substitution by higher priced foods. restoring prewar flour intake could save about a billion dollars annually.
