U.S. Postal Service Should Stamp Out Its Wage
Premium
Sam Ryan - Lexington Institute
So what, exactly, is driving prices upward?
Labor. Labor is, by far, the Postal Service's
largest expense. Labor costs account for about
80% of USPS costs -- compared to about 50% at
private delivery companies. That's because
unionized postal workers receive much higher
wages than their private-sector counterparts.
