Released December 22, 1961 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Bureau of Labor Statistics Washington 25, D. C. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR NOVEMBER 1961 Prices of consumer goods and services declined by 0.1 percent between October and November to 128.3 (1947-49-100), according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. A further drop in food prices, largely due to seasonal influences, contributed most to the decrease, although prices of nonfood commodities also averaged somewhat lower. Services as a group registered a small increase, partially offsetting the overall downward price movement. The small price change in November marked a continuation of the overall stability shown by consumer prices during the past year, except for an 0.4 percent rise in July. The stability of average prices since mid-summer results from a reduction of 1.4 percent in food prices from their July seasonal peak balanced against advances for nonfood commodities and for services. In comparison with November 1960, consumer prices have advanced by 0.7 percent, marking the smallest increase for a comparable period since 1955. FOOD Seasonally lower prices for pork products, fresh fruits, and eggs were the dominant influences in the 0.5 percent decline in average food prices between October and November. Moderating the decrease somewhat were higher prices for fresh vegetables, beef and veal products, fresh milk, almost all cereals and bakery products, and restaurant meals. The index for all types of foods combined, at 120.3, was 0.7 percent below year ago levels, largely reflecting substantial price decreases for eggs, poultry, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Contributing to the 5.2 percent reduction in egg prices from their October peak were increased supplies, reflecting both a record rate and seasonally higher volume of production. The 1 percent decrease in the meats, poultry, and fish index was due almost entirely to a decline of nearly 4 percent in pork prices as production moved toward a seasonal peak. Poultry prices declined slightly to reach a new low JBLS production continued at record levels. Compared with a year earlier, prices for meats, poultry, and fish averaged 1.2 percent lower with a 15 percent decline in poultry prices causing most of the decrease. A drop of about 5 percent in average prices of fresh fruits—chiefly due to the continued seasonal decline in prices of oranges and grapefruit, and lower prices for apples--accounted for a large part of the decrease in the overall fruits and vegetables index. In comparison with November 1960, prices K of all fruits and vegetables combined averaged 3.6 percent lower, primarily because prices of fresh fruits and vegetables were off by an average of 7 percent. NONFOOD COMMODITIES Average prices of nonfood commodities fell slightly over the month, as several opposing price movements occurred. This small decrease halted the generally steady upward movement in average nonfood commodity prices which has been in evidence since May. The principal decreases between October and November were for women's and girls' apparel, household durables, and used cars, while prices for gasoline, solid fuels, men's and;boys' clothing, and footwear advance**. The decline of 0.7 percent for women's and girls' apparel was mainly attributable to early seasonal clearance sales of wool coats and lower prices for women's dresses and nylon hose. The rise in men's and boys' clothing was typical for this time of the year. Shoe prices rose as previous selective price increases at the manufacturers' level became more general. Lower prices for household durables were largely the result of competitive decreases and sale prices for some major household items, particularly cooking ranges,, aeving machines, und dinnerwar^. Lower prices of used cars reflected the expansion in the number of trade-in cars on dealers1 hands as a result of the October-November pickup in nev car sales. However, used car prices are still almost 19 percent above year ago levels. SERVICES An 0.2 percent increase in average prices of services was due primarily to higher charges for major elements x>f home ownership and for laundry and dry cleaning services. However all of the other principal types of services showed some advance in price. COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENTS More than 130,000 workers will receive increases in cost-of-living allowances on the basis of the November national index. Approximately 20,000 employees of various chemical, and metal working firms will receive 1-cent an hour increases on the basis of a quarterly review. Of the remaining 110,000 workers, about 75,000 employees of major meat packing firms will receive 1-cent an hour increases based on a semiannual review, while 25,000 drivers and other employees of cartages firms in the Chicago area are scheduled to receive 2-cent an hour increases on the basis of an annual adjustment. 3 TABLE It Consumer Price Index—United States city average Major group and subgroup indexes, November 1961 and percent changes from selected dates (1947-49=100 unless otherwise specified) Percent change to November 1961 from— Indexes November 1961 October 1961 October 1961 128.3 128.4 - 0.1 120.3 116.8 140.9 108.6 119.4 121.6 108.2 122.7 120.9 117.6 140.2 109.7 119.0 122.9 109.8 122.4 132.9 144.2 125.7 139.2 103.4 139.5 132.7 144.1 125.7 138.4 103.6 139.2 111.2 112.3 101.7 142.3 93.0 111.4 112.2 102.4 141.7 93.1 ' 150.5 138.0 209.9 150.3 137.9 209.4 162.4 162.3 • 134.3 134.0 Group All items Food • Fruits and vegetables Other foods at homo • Food away from hone (Jan. 1953=100) Housing 2 J — Rent — Gas and electricity — House furnishings• Household operation • • • •-— Apparel •• Man's and b o y s Footwear • Other apparel 1 - - — — — - — Transportation PrivatoPublic Nodical carePersonal care • •• Other goods and s e r v i c e s — • • 125.2 125.4 133.8 133.8 August 1961 November 1960 Year 1939 0.2 0.7 116.0 .5 .7 .5 - 1.0 .3 - 1.1 - 1.5 .2 - .7 - 1.2 .9 .2 .8 - 8.2 .6 1.0 - .7 - 1.4 1.7 - 1.2 .4 - 3.6 - 3.0 2.6 155.4 148.0 146.3 161.1 139.8 162,6 123.6 (I/) .2 .1 0 .6 .2 .2 .5 .4 .1 1.7 .2 .5 .6 1.1 0 2.1 - .6 .9 74.6 66.5 19.8 146.8 93.6 103.9 .2 .1 .7 .4 .1 1.2 1.1 1.5 .8 .1 .5 .3 .3 1.4 - 1.2 111.8 121.1 86.6 182.9 129.1 .1 .1 .2 .8 .9 .4 2.7 2.7 3.4 114.4 110.7 158.2 .1 .6 2.8 123.7 .2 .1 .3 125.3 .2 .6 2.2 98.7 0 .1 .8 89.5 - - - - Special groups) 132.4 132.3 All items less shelter 125.8 126.0 - .2 Commoditiep. •••••-.• • Nondurable a Food Nondurablea less food— Apparel • • • Apparel less footwear Nondurables less food and apparelDurable S" •• •• ' New cars Used cars (Jan. 1953=100) Durables less cars• •- 118.5 120.6 120.3 121.5 111.0 105.6 130.5 112.6 139.7 96.9 102.0 118.8 120.9 120.9 121.5 111.2 105.9 130.3 112.7 139.7 97.3 102.1 - - .3 .2 .5 0 .2 .3 .2 .1 0 .4 .1 Commodities less f o o d — 116.9 117.0 - .1 Services • • •• • Rent — Services less rent-— •,,• • Household operation services, gas, and electricity—— 153.7 144.2 156.1 153.4 144.1 155.8 141.2 190.3 170.8 138.6 $0,779 All items less food • Medical care services— Other services j ! / — Purchasing power of the consumer dollar (1947-49=11.00) .1 1.2 91.6 .6 127.1 .2 .2 .7 .3 .4 .2 .4 1.7 .4 18.6 - .8 129.7 134.6 155.4 107.0 113.1 (1/) 98.0 96.5 145.1 (1/) 78.0 .7 .9 96.8 .2 .1 .2 .5 .4 .5 1.6 1.1 1.6 91.2 66.5 112.4 141.0 190.0 170.5 138.3 .1 .2 .2 .2 .4 .3 •8 .5 .8 1.8 3.5 1.4 62.3 137.6 142.3 137,7 $0,779 0 .8 -53.7 - .2 .1 .2 .7 .7 1.2 1.2 .4 .6 2.6 .8 - .1 - - .3 - - 1 / Not available• 2/ Includes house purchase, interest, taxes, insurance, and upkeep, not shown separately* 2/ Includes house purchase, interest, taxes, insurance, and upkeep services; shoe repairs, television repairs, barber and beauty shop services, and movies.
