ARE FOOD PRICES TOO HIGH?
This question is being discussed
with quite a lot of feeling by house
wives because of a recent slight
up-turn in the price of some foods,
chiefly meats. Before we point an
accusing finger at the farmers, it
might be fair to consider the latest
U.S.D.A. figures which show that
in 1947 the average factory em
ployee worked 30 minutes for a
pound of choice steak. In 1967 the
same employee could buy this steak
oy working only 18 minutes. In 1947
it required 10 minutes for a quaif
of milk against 64 minutes for 1957, |
32 minutes for a dozen eggs in 1947 j
compared with 19 minutes in 1957, ,
and right on down the line practi
cally all food "items' have not risen j
in price nearly, so much as the
average industrial workers wage.
Measured in dollars and cents food
prices are higher, but they have
increased less than other living
costs, and food takes a smaller per
cent of the wage earners income
tjjpn ever before. The average fac
tory workr could buy one-third
more food in 1957 than in 1947 with
wages from one hour of work.
