Living Costs Inch Up Fractionally
The government reports a tiny rise in living costs for the 30 days ending Oct. 15, up one tenth of a point. The change triggers a one cent per hour wage cut for about a million workers in the auto and aircraft sectors starting Dec. 1 and reduces General Motors salaried workers’ cost of living bonuses. The Oct. 15 index stood at 190.9, up from 190.8 a month earlier, and 1.9 percent above last year with hikes in fuel, electricity, rents, and other services more than offset by slight declines in food and clothing.
