Food Prices and Wages Since 1929 Highlight Depression Era Trends
Washington reports that employed workers can still buy more food than in 1929, with food prices lagging behind overall living costs. Department of Agriculture and Census data show wage gains of about 40 percent over the decade, offsetting crop failures, while unemployed relief recipients lack comparable figures. The report notes price shifts from 1933 onward, a 18 percent dip below 1928 levels, and 21 percent below 1929, with sector differences from dairy to livestock and fruits.
