Your guide to the Consumer Price Index .: CS62-557/1976E-PDF

"The Consumer Price Index (CPI), whose origins as a statistical series can be traced back to the early 1900's in Canada, has grown in comprehensiveness and detail over the years to keep pace with increases in its uses and applications. Today, it has a direct or indirect effect on nearly all Canadians. In view of these extensive applications, it was felt that this basic guide to the CPI would be of assistance to general users. The guide provides an explanation of what the CPI is, and how it is put together; it also deals with special topics and provides some notes on how to interpret and use the Index”--Introd., p. 1.
