Paul,
most national statistics offices are on-line.
There are data series' concerning almost everything, price index, production cost index, labour cost index, well you name it and it?s probably there.
The problem is to decide which index to follow but for a non-scientific quicky, I try to find the one closest to normal living expenses. I know it?s not entirely correct but living expenses are hit by everything.
A few links for the US:

Interesting to compare with the UK:
