Oh, here’s the link to the NYT article:

From the article:

Labor represents 80 percent of the agency’s expenses, compared with 53 percent at United Parcel Service and 32 percent at FedEx

How much do you make an hour?

Postal workers also receive more generous health benefits than most other federal employees.

>>So...why does it cost me so much money if it’s free?<<

Must be a really-really-really fat benefits package in addition to your highly inflated wage.
