In South Carolina in 1967, it was very easy for a woman with a high school education to get a job paying about $1.45/hr. Today, the median wage in SC for a high school grad is roughly $11/hr. The modern wage is XXX times more than the 1967 one. So if the cost of an item increased more than XXX times than it is more expensive. If an item has increased less than XXX times then it is less expensive. I asked Grok to compare a small bucket of XX items from 1967 and today. It's not comprehensive, but if it is very different from your numbers, then we should be curious why. Few notes worth mentioning: The nutritional density of most farmed foods has decreased significantly. Also the use of various pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides has roughly doubled. For these reasons, I opted ask Grok to compare modern organic foods to the 1967 foods, and grass-fed meat, dairy, and eggs. These are closer in kind to what was being consumed in 1967. Finally, I tried to avoid processed foods like bread. The bread in 1967 had different ingredients than bread today so it's less of an exact comparison. The same could be said of childbirth costs, as healthcare has improved over time, but the cost has skyrocketed compared to wages.
