Outlook

Demand for this career is declining. The number of new post offices and postal processing centers is growing slowly. The amount of mail sent via the US Postal Service is continuing to decrease. This is due to the increasing use of electronic mail and automated bill pay. Automated mail sorting is also reducing the number of employees who need to be supervised.

Despite the decline in jobs, openings will occur as current workers leave the career.
