I got an email from the VA telling me that the U S post office is looking to hire 100,000 new hires with preferences being given to vets (which is why I got the note). One can hope that an increase of that size in the labor pool will help smooth out some of the bumps we are currently experiencing.

One can hope.

Certainly does sound like that, but, not also smooth out the bumps, but also offer employment to others as well. Good luck.

My local PO has signs up, but I doubt they're going to hire a 68-year-old, so I haven't applied (gawd...how did I get here?), but good news for giving some relief to over-burdened postal employees and hiring vets! As the commercial I remember growing up said: "Bet on a Vet, how lucky can you get?"

Hell is empty. And all the devils are here.

"looking to hire" and actually hiring are 2 different things.

Many POs have been looking to hire for a long time. The latest advertising campaign may be new, but the attempts to hire new people is not new.
