USPS Hiring Spree: $20/Hour Jobs Available in LA – No Experience Needed!
Postal Service Seeks Hundreds of Workers Amid Nationwide Staffing Shortages
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is launching a major hiring push across Los Angeles, offering immediate positions with starting wages up to $20/hour. With mail carriers and auto technicians in high demand, these roles require no prior experience – just a valid driver's license and a willingness to work outdoors.
Who's Getting Hired?
- City Carrier Assistants: $19.33/hour starting pay, delivery routes across LA neighborhoods
- Rural Carrier Associates: $20.38/hour, serving suburban and outlying areas
- Automotive Technicians: $28.47/hour, maintaining USPS fleet vehicles
Why the Sudden Hiring Boom?
The Postal Service faces a perfect storm: 40% of current carriers become eligible for retirement in the next 5 years, while package volumes have increased 65% since 2020. "We're preparing for holiday season peaks now," explains LA District Manager Alejandra Ruiz.
Perks Beyond the Paycheck
- Federal benefits including healthcare and pension plans
- Tuition reimbursement programs
- Pathways to permanent employment within 2 years
How to Apply
Walk-in job fairs will be held at these LA locations this week:
- Downtown LA Processing Center: August 15, 9AM-3PM
- Van Nuys Mail Facility: August 16, 11AM-5PM
- Long Beach Post Office: August 17, 8AM-2PM
What Do You Think?
- Would you take a mail carrier job at $20/hour in today's economy?
- Should USPS prioritize hiring over modernization like drone deliveries?
- Is the physical demand of mail delivery worth the federal benefits?
- Could this hiring surge actually slow down mail service with inexperienced workers?
- Would you rather deliver mail or drive for Amazon/UPS for similar pay?
