The Postmaster General announced today that because of the dire financial situation that almost 3/4 of all post offices will be closing starting spring 2012. This move will displace thousand of postal employees as well as customers. They both will have to commute future to work or do business as a result.
One of the main reasons for this move is that people are paying more bills online and moving to other online business models to communicate and conduct business. The post office was slow in adapting and finds itself not being able to compete.
In the Great Lake Area, the Detroit, Jackson, Flint, Lansing, Gaylord and Saginaw plants are all being studied for closing next year,. In total across the nation between 30-35 thousand employees will be affected. The post office hopes that many of the employees who are eligible to retire will, but because of a lot of peoples financial condition, that won't happen. It's sad that people have to work when they really want to retire and relax a bit.
Now more than ever is a really good time to consider a home based business.
