How much did a loaf of bread cost in 1927?
It's tricky to give a single definitive price for a loaf of bread in 1927. Prices varied greatly depending on:
* Location: Rural areas typically had lower prices than cities.
* Type of bread: White bread, whole wheat, rye, etc. all had different costs.
* Size of the loaf: A "loaf" could mean different sizes.
However, we can look at some historical data to get an idea:
* Average: The average cost of a loaf of bread in the United States in 1927 was around 8 cents.
* Specific examples: A report from the U.S. Department of Labor in 1927 stated that the average price of a pound loaf of white bread in New York City was 12 cents.
To put that in perspective:
* In 1927, the average weekly wage for an industrial worker was about $25.
* So, a loaf of bread cost about 0.3% of the average weekly wage.
It's important to note that these are just estimates. The actual price of bread in 1927 could have been higher or lower depending on the specific circumstances.
