Living Costs At New Peak As CPI Rises In November
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the consumer price index rose to 127.4 in November from 127.3 in October, driven by higher food prices for the first November uptick since 1951. Movie admissions and hospitalization insurance also climbed, affecting earners and cost of living adjustments for about 225,000 workers. After-tax earnings of factory workers fell as hours shortened, with a three‑dependent production worker's spendable income dropping to about $60.95 weekly.
