SALT LAKE CITY, UT —Gearing up for what is anticipated to be a record-breaking holiday season for packages, the Postal Service is currently hiring more than 300 seasonal employees to work at processing centers and Post Offices across Utah and Southern Idaho.

The hourly wages range from $16.21 to $18.56 with varying shifts and days off. While most of the positions are seasonal, some are longer term positions that may lead to full-time career opportunities with the U.S. Postal Service.

“Joining the Postal Service as a seasonal employee is a win-win for everyone.” said USPS District Manager Michael Mirides. “Seasonal employees can quickly earn extra income while considering future career opportunities, which is great for them, great for the Postal Service and great for our customers.”

The Postal Service also looks to recent retirees, inviting letter carriers, clerks and motor vehicle operators who have retired within the last few years to come back and help deliver the important holiday letters and packages to postal customers.
