CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR URBAN WAGE EARNERS AND CLERICAL WORKERS An index of prices of goods and services typically purchased by urban wage earners and clerical workers. This carries the official abbreviation CPI-W to distinguish it from its more famous sister index CPI-U, which is the standard Consumer Price Index for All Urban Workers, (commonly abbreviated simply as CPI).
