What if you were the only employee at USPS? What would you do in a single day?
According to the 2013 edition of Postal Facts, you would process and deliver approximately 528 million mailpieces, including 227 million pieces of First-Class Mail and 262 million pieces of Standard Mail. You would deliver the mail along a 4.3 million-mile route. And you would pick up — without charge — 727,167 packages.
You would process more than 130,000 address changes and add 2,160 new addresses to the delivery network. And you would make sure the nearly 1 million visitors to usps.com received answers to their questions, confirmations for the $809,000 in revenue from online stamps and retail sales, and more than 44 million Click-N-Ship labels.
You would accept 18,750 passport applications, issue 358,553 money orders and serve more than 3.2 million customers at 31,000 retail locations.
For completing all these tasks, you would earn $215 million in revenue, and you would pay yourself $157 million in salaries and benefits.
And you would receive no tax dollars.
All in all, not a bad day’s work.
