The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) decreased
0.8 percent in November, before seasonal adjustment, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The November
level of 197.6 (1982-84=100) was 3.5 percent higher than in November 2004.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(CPI-W) decreased 0.9 percent in November, prior to seasonal adjustment.
The November level of 193.4 was 3.5 percent higher than in November 2004.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U)
decreased 0.5 percent in November on a not seasonally adjusted basis. The
November level of 114.4 (December 1999=100) was 2.8 percent higher than in
November 2004. Please note that the indexes for the post-2003 period are
subject to revision.
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U decreased 0.6 percent in
November, its largest decline since a 0.9 drop in July 1949. The index
for energy declined for the second consecutive month, down a record 8.0
percent in November. Within energy, a 15.2 percent decrease in the index
for petroleum-based energy more than offset a 2.1 percent increase in the
index for energy services. The index for food rose 0.3 percent in
November, the same as in each of the preceding two months. The index for
all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in November, the same as
in October, after registering increases of 0.1 percent in each of the
preceding five months. Shelter costs rose 0.3 percent in November,
largely as a result of a 1.3 percent increase in the index for lodging
away from home, and accounted for over half of the advance in the index
for all items less food and energy.
AND MUCH MORE...including TABLES....
