"What people used to convey in a greeting card, they now express in a Facebook wall post. What was once penned on paper and sent through the mail is now transmitted instantaneously over the Internet. Technology is making a large portion of the mail carrier’s job obsolete."

The jobs were ranked on five criteria: physical demands, work environment, income, stress, and hiring outlook.

It says the national median salary is $53,090... This is the equivalent of £34,776. I though US Posties were badly paid?
