Postal Carriers Under Siege: Robberies Skyrocket, Injuries Rise

Postal carriers across the U.S. report a 78% increase in robberies, with nearly 500 reported robberies in 2022 alone.
Weapons were used in most of the robberies, injuring 31 postal carriers this year.
The robberies are taking an emotional and physical toll on postal carriers, who say they feel outraged and angered.
The Postal Service is working to address the crisis but letter carriers say much more needs to be done.
