Post Office Views: Mailers and Carriers in Odessa
Ramirez notes the Odessa post office operates with about 40 fewer carriers than a decade ago while handling roughly 30 000 letters per hour.

Thompson adds people still value physical mail and privacy and says email will not replace the postal service.
