[ adjective ] increasing in quantity or value
Examples "a cost-raising increase in the basic wage rate" Used in print (Allan J. Braff and Roger F. Miller, "Wage-Price...)The existence of conflict and of vigorous union demand for an increase in money wages does not contradict the assumption that the union is willing to settle for cost-of-living and productivity share increases as distinct from a cost raising increase in the basic wage rate . Changes in the basic wage rate are cost raising , and they constitute an argument for raising prices . Related terms |
