It’s no secret that the popularity of the postal service has steadily declined since the internet has become widely accessable. Email and social networking is the dominant choice for keeping in touch today. What does this mean for the U.S. Postal Service?
National Public Radio recently reported that up to 3,700 post offices may begin closing next year, primarily in rural areas. Aditionally, the USPS has not turned a profit since 2006, according to NPR News.
