It takes 37 years of work in the U.S. postal service to get 70%
of your base pay when you retire. At 30 years of work, you get
only 56%. It takes 41 years and 11 months to get 80%.
In addition, the U.S. postal service gives out large amounts of
overtime, but is reluctant to hire new "career" employees.
The U.S. postal service has an aging work force. How can the
U.S. postal service function efficiently in this manner?

I'll type an answer as soon as I stop laughing about the use of "US Postal Service" and "function efficiently" in the same sentence. It is one of the most poorly run organizations in the country.

They have an aging work force because people like working there. I couldn't wait long enough to be hired by the post office when I was looking.

Just look at companies in the private sector who offer NO retirement plans and tell me that the Post Office is that bad!
They are becoming more and more automated annually requiring less workers. And with the internet, less mail is being generated. They will need new employees, but just not as many as in the past.

There's nothing wrong with that system. I have never worked for a company that had any kind of retirement plan.

Because everyone goes postal and they don't actually reach retirement age anyway... hehe couldn't resist :)
