USPS is hiring for the holidays; hosting job fairs in Los Angeles
The holiday rush is nigh, and the U.S. Postal service is prepping for the busy season and looking to hire an additional 20,000 seasonal employees.
The Postal Service reported it's ready for the mailing and shipping crunch with the installation of 137 new package sorting machines across the network, bringing the daily package processing capacity up to 60 million. The new sorting machines bring the organization's total to 249 new processing machines since the launch of the Delivering for America plan in March 2021 -- part of a $40 billion investment in the postal network.
