USPS to cut 10,000 jobs in budget strategy

The U.S. Postal Service plans to cut 10,000 jobs in the next 30 days as part of a budget reduction strategy. This follows a previous announcement of cost-cutting measures aimed at saving over $3.5 billion annually. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy will collaborate with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to address operational issues. The USPS has faced challenges, including mismanagement and regulatory constraints, impacting its financial stability. Critics, including Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly, express concern that these cuts could harm service, especially in rural areas. The USPS has previously reduced its workforce, cutting 30,000 jobs in 2021 amid ongoing financial struggles.
