Research
So, I'm doing the Powerpoint history presentation for Winfield Chapter 418, OES, State of NY, 100th anniversary celebration. Getting to find out what $15 dollars in 1908 equals in 2008 dollars, among other totally useless pieces of information.
Yup--the fun never ends.
In 2006, $15.00 from 1908 is worth:
$339.01 using the Consumer Price Index
$253.34 using the GDP deflator
$768.22 using the value of consumer bundle
$1,461.40 using the unskilled wage
$1,945.07 using the nominal GDP per capita
$6,560.21 using the relative share of GDP
(GDP is "Gross Domestic Product" if, like me, you had no clue what it stood for)

Today must be the day for research like that. Only I got to do it for 38 countries I don't give a rat's left ear lobe about.

I knew what it stood for (I m smrt), but I have no idea what half of those comparisons would be!
