LOS ANGELES — This holiday season, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) plans to hire 25,000 to 30,000 seasonal workers nationwide. There are job openings at many locations in Southern California. Positions available include letter carriers, mail handlers, retail sales associates and automotive technicians.

USPS hiring is currently underway for peak season and will continue in the months ahead. Postal Service seasonal employees have opportunities for permanent work and a path to becoming career employees.

The Postal Service is an equal opportunity employer offering a fast-pace, challenging, and rewarding work environment with competitive compensation packages, job training and opportunities for advancement.

The online application process is easy by going to usps.com and clicking on “USPS Jobs” at the bottom left of the home page. (Or go directly to www.usps.com/employment.)  

Select “Search open jobs,” then select “California” and hit “Start.” Current job postings with location and requirements will appear. Job seekers should check back often for new job postings.

For help delivering this peak season, USPS is also looking to recent retirees, inviting letter carriers who have retired within the past two years to come back and give us a hand while earning some extra cash for the holidays.
