Postal Trendwatch Q3 2007
The Postal Service experienced both revenue and volume growth in the first three quarters of FY
2007. However, overall volume growth appears to be slowing. In particular, First Class Mail continued its historic decline.
The big question that remains is whether the strong growth in productivity and Standard Mail
can fill the gap left by shrinking First Class Mail.
Also, after six years of uninterrupted productivity growth, has the Postal Service finally reached a limit to wringing out more productivity gains?
