housing (shelter), Energy, and seasonal food are excluded from the personal consumption expenditure (PCE) which is reported as the 'CPI' today. The government switched from Core CPI to the personal consumption expenditure (PCE)... right around a certain QE start in 2012. The personal consumption expenditure (PCE) and Core CPI are re-based every 2 yrs... so as not to alarm people about the loss in PPP of their dollar.
interesting how the government manipulate a lot of economic indicators now days, mostly developed countries. In Australia if you work an hour every two weeks, you are considered employed.
