Price Figures Confusing Cost Index Change Due
The January cost of living index may rise slightly above 119 on the new 1967 base, masking ongoing inflation as numbers shift with a decade-based base revision. Recomputed figures will alter related indices, with the Fed industrial production and wholesale price indices adjusted to the new base, while critics call it cosmetic inflation masking. Also announced is the Second Annual Ann Hawkes Hutton Scholarship of $500 annually to a high school senior planning government service, with a 200-word essay and school recommendation due by March 1.
