- 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).
I found an estimate of $40K he

Have no idea who is cheating whom...
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.
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:
