 The PPI is a combination of indexes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that measure the average change over time in the selling prices domestic producers get for their goods or services. In other words. PPI tracks inflation as manufacturers or suppliers experience it rather than from the consumer’s perspective. 

 The CPI  is calculated and published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It measures the average change in prices paid by consumers over a period of time for a basket of goods and services. It is among the most common measures of inflation, indicating the health and direction of the economy. 

These inflation charts reflect the CPI as if it were calculated using the methodologies in place in 1980 and 1990. While these are unofficial statistics, they still give light to the challenges imposed by inflation.
