Living Costs Rise Says Babson
Babson Park Massachusetts, August 6 1937. Living costs this fall and winter will be higher than now. All statistics point to this conclusion. Rents and household furnishings will probably lead the parade as the upswing in living costs continues since 1933. The average family's expenses have jumped 24 percent since the 1933 low. What $1.00 bought during the Bank Holiday now costs $1.24. Wages increased 9 percent in dollars but only 5 percent in goods, illustrating the axiom that higher wages raise material costs and lift living costs.
