USPS OIG – Focus on Pre-Career Employees

The Postal Service has more than 624,000 employees, and nearly 15 percent are pre-career employees.

Most new employees who move the mail are hired as pre-career employees. They have lower pay rates generally than career employees and do not receive full federal benefits, although many USPS pre-career jobs serve as an entry point to career positions.

Still, the Postal Service has faced difficulties hiring and retaining pre-career employees in recent years. We have issued several reports examining aspects of this problem.
