About the U.S. Postal Service
The U.S. Postal Service is the only delivery service that reaches every address in the nation: nearly 165 million residences, businesses, and Post Office Boxes. The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products, and services to fund its operations.
With more than 33,000 retail locations and one of the most frequently visited websites in the federal government, usps.com, the Postal Service had an annual operating revenue of more than $78.5 billion for 2022 and delivers 44 percent of the world’s mail. With more than 635,000 employees, the Postal Service is one of the nation’s largest employers and has one of the world’s largest computer networks.
The Postal Service makes deliveries by trucks, planes, boats, and even mule trains. It has its own law enforcement arm, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and regularly cooperates with the Pentagon, emergency management, and other federal agencies.
