PIA Hails Passage of Top Legislative Priority—Postal Reform

“PIA commends lawmakers for finishing the job on comprehensive postal reform before adjourning the 109th Congress,” said Michael Makin, President and CEO of PIA. “The printing industry is a primary sector of the ‘mailing economy,’ along with publishing, paper, direct marketing, retail, financial services, and other industries. Altogether, the mailing economy employs almost nine million workers and represents nearly nine percent of U.S. GDP. Passage of postal reform will allow this vital segment of the nation’s economy to remain viable and successful in the years to come.”
