This is Who We Were: In The 1970s

Section Three: Economy of the Times

Despite a relatively steady increase in the annual income of Americans from 1970 to 1979, there was also a tremendous increase in the cost of basic utilities and consumer goods due to inflation. Economy of the Times illustrates three economic elements: Consumer Expenditures; Annual Income of Standard Jobs; and Selected Prices. We highlighted three years for each category—1972, 1977, and 1979. The Value of a Dollar chart, at the end of the section, shows the change in the value of $1.00 yearly, from 1860 to 2014.
