Postal Service Stats: Labor Represents 80% Of The Agency's Expenses

We have written about some interesting USPS statistics before. We spotted this today:

" Labor represents 80 percent of the agency’s expenses, compared with 53 percent at United Parcel Service and 32 percent at FedEx, its two biggest private competitors. Postal workers also receive more generous health benefits than most other federal employees."
