Test 460 for Rural Carrier Associate Jobs

What distinguishes the Postal Service from other service organizations . . .

Our employees are our most valuable asset, and we want the best possible workforce to carry out our mission. Our organization is unique in that:

• We handle more than 202 billion pieces of mail a year.

• We are 700,000 career employees serving the American public. That makes the Postal Service one of the nation's largest civilian employers.

• We operate more than 37,000 Post Offices™ and have a fleet of more than 200,000 vehicles to pick up, transport, and deliver mail in the U.S.

• We use commercial airlines to carry 10.5 million pounds of mail a day. That makes us the airlines' biggest shipper.

• We deliver directly to 141 million addresses 6 days a week, and 7 million customers visit our Post Offices every day.
