Where can I find data on inflation (including cost of living, CPI, PPI, etc.)?
Answer
See the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Go to Mercer’s Cost of Living city ranking.
To calculate the worth of the US dollar from 1913 to the present, go to Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis's Inflation Calculator: What is a Dollar Worth?
Go to ProQuest Statistical Abstract of the U.S.
- Click on Prices in the left-hand menu.
See the Cost of Living Index (print source), available at the Business Library.
For international consumer price indices, use WDI Online from The World Bank.
