The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased
0.1 percent in November, before seasonal adjustment, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The November
level of 191.0 (1982-84=100) was 3.5 percent higher than in November 2003.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(CPI-W) increased 0.2 percent in November, prior to seasonal adjustment.
The November level of 186.8 was 3.7 percent higher than in November 2003.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U)
was unchanged in November on a not seasonally adjusted basis. The
November level of 111.1 (December 1999=100) was 3.1 percent higher than in
November 2003. Please note that the indexes for the post-2002 period are
subject to revision.
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U increased 0.2 percent in
November, following a 0.6 percent rise in October. Energy costs, which
advanced 4.2 percent in October, increased 0.2 percent in November.
Within energy, the index for household fuels rose 2.5 percent, while the
index for motor fuels decreased 1.8 percent. The index for food, which
rose 0.6 percent in October, increased 0.2 percent in November. The index
for food at home rose 0.3 percent, reflecting a 3.3 percent increase in
the index for fruits and vegetables. The index for all items less food
and energy advanced 0.2 percent in November, the same as in October.
Deceleration in the indexes for shelter and household furnishings and
operations was largely offset by a larger increase in the index for new
vehicles and an upturn in the index for telephone services.
AND MUCH MORE...including TABLES....
