Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Family Economics Review: Highlights; Winter 1974
Families are concerned that their dollars do not stretch as far as they used to. Those with one or more members now in the labor market are concerned because additional income from pay increases does not seem to put them in a better financial position. Those with fixed incomes, such as retirement annuities, are con cerned because rising prices are not matched by increases in income. These concerns are natural. Has income consisting of wages and salaries kept pace, on the average, with increasing costs of food, clothing, housing, and other expenses of family living? And have price increases seriously eroded the ability of retired couples on fixed incomes to continue their planned level of expenditures?
