Congress assumed in 1971 that the newly organized US Postal Service (USPS) would pay for itself by 1984. In 1973, the USPS lost $13 million. It lost $438 million in 1974 and $1.2 billion in 1975. Stamps cost 6 cents in 1971 but 13 cents by 1977, despite 55,000 fewer postal workers. In 1977, Congress voted a billion dollars to keep the USPS solvent. Worker productivity was low. Mail volume declined due to competition from United Parcel Service (UPS) and private mail carriers. There was talk of ending Saturday mail delivery. The Jimmy Carter administration and Congress increased the work expectations of USPS employees, and USPS job pressures grew.
