USPS may lay off 120,000 workers
The USPS (Post Office) is supposedly laying off 120,000 workers. This will be quite the blow to the economy as most of these workers make a good wage for mostly minimal skill jobs. Without retraining it will be hard for many of them to make the same kind of wages ever again.
I wonder what other changes the USPS is making. I don't know how they can possibly reduce 20% of their workforce without some service changes. I will be sad to see 6 day delivery go because I order stuff via Priority Mail all the time knowing that Saturday is considered a delivery day. I can order something on Friday and still get it Monday and not pay overnight shipping.
