Thousands of Postal Service workers may soon find themselves without a job.
Due to severe loss in revenue as customers increasingly turn to computers for most postal needs, the U.S. Postal Service is considering closing 3,653 post offices, a move that could potentially save $200 million, reported The Wall Street Journal.
“We’ve lost a tremendous amount of first class mail; it’s down 28% in the last four years and that’s what pays the bills; that’s what pays for six days of delivery,” explained Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe.
