United States Postal Service’s Economic Impact

Have you ever been curious about how many post offices there are in your district? State? Or the County?  Or how many people are employed by the USPS in your area?

The USPS Government Relations team published that data under a section titled ‘Economic Impact’.  Here is what they currently publish under National stats.  

Infographic of USPS national economic impact with zero tax funding, $43.5 billion in wages, billions in employee taxes, 168.6 million delivery points, and over 31,000 facilities.

If you are interested in seeing the statistics in your state, click on the map they provide.

Infographic showing USPS economic impact in Illinois, including number of employees, total salaries paid, employee income taxes, addresses served, and tax dollars received for operations.

At the state level you can download the report which includes the details of the number of postal facilities, the amount owned, leased and contract sites.  You then even click into your Congressional district.  I expect this is a tool that USPS labor uses when speaking with local representatives to convey the economic impact of the USPS in their voting district.
