U.S.: The U.S. Postal Service is trying to recover from such great lows
- -$2.8 billion losses the post office suffered in 2008; it’ll be worse in 2009 despite an increase in the price of stamps to 44ยข in May.
- -5.2 billion fewer pieces of mail got shipped last quarter from the same period a year ago. Officials say it could get worse; layoffs are in the works. source
