COVID Impact on Mail Volume Report – 10/22/2021

Here is GrayHair’s weekly chart on the impact of COVID on USPS Mail Volumes, as compiled by our VP of Postal Affairs, Angelo Anagnostopoulos.

GrayHair continues to monitor the lingering Impacts of the COVID pandemic on #USPS Mail Volumes. During the weeks ending 10/15 and 10/22, we are seeing some declines in First Class and Marketing Mail as compared to 2020. The decreases are due to the large 2020 election mail volumes and the modest amounts of election mail this current election cycle.

How to read this chart. The black line shows the total mail volume comparison to 2019 (for all three types). The percentage along the left-hand axis shows the percentage to the prior year’s volume with 100% being the same as the prior year.
