America's #1 Disappearing Job - Postal Worker
"1. Postal Service Workers
- Pct. decrease: -26.4% - 2010 jobs: 524,200 - Total job loss (2010-2020): -138,600 - Median annual wage: $53,090 It is not news to anyone that the U.S. Postal Service is suffering. In August of this year, the USPS announced that it was losing $57 million a day in the third quarter. The USPS cannot afford to hire more workers and many jobs will be replaced by machines to save money on salaries and benefits. There will be a decline of 48.5% in the number of mail sorters and processors because their functions are being automated. Similarly, there will be a decrease of 48.2% in the number of postal service clerks as a result of the drop in first-class mail use. The number of mail carriers is expected to fall by 12%, as their areas for delivery can expand as the volumes of mail contract. Because postal workers are considered government employees, their wages and benefits are quite good for the lack of an education requirement."

America's #1 Disappearing Job - Postal Worker
- Median annual wage: $53,090
It’s difficult to say for certain what the average postal employee compensation is because they use temporary employees (the Cato Institute estimates $79,000). It is not news to anyone that the U.S. Postal Service is suffering. However Congress and Bammity will NOT allow changes to help the system, such as stopping Saturday delivery. If you've ever scheduled any workers, you can do a great job with 5 day weeks, not with 6 or 7. 6 day 'weeks' either require overtime or additional workers, disproportionate to the actual coverage obtained. Additionally they will again default on their pre-payment of retirement benefits - something NO OTHER business has to do. They even have to pre-pay for 'future estimated workers'! [Before you yelp, other businesses now pay in for CURRENT workers according to their CURRENT level of employment] |

I found an estimate of $40K he http://www.indeed.com/salary/Postal-Worker.html Have no idea who is cheating whom... It is not news to anyone that the U.S. Postal Service is suffering.

Well, it was supposed that they deliver the post on Saturdays too, being paid for it. Apparently, these days they have less letters to deliver. Additionally they will again default on their pre-payment of retirement benefits - something NO OTHER business has to do. They even have to pre-pay for 'future estimated workers'! [Before you yelp, other businesses now pay in for CURRENT workers according to their CURRENT level of employment] I found the article "Understanding the Post Office's Benefits Mess" interesting: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-0...fits-mess.html -- Victor Manta, PWO, AIJP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
