From our humble beginnings as a small discount retailer in Rogers, Ark., Walmart has opened thousands of stores in the U.S. and expanded internationally. Through innovation, we're creating a seamless experience to let customers shop anytime and anywhere online and in stores. We are creating opportunities and bringing value to customers and communities around the globe. Walmart operates more than 10,500 stores and numerous eCommerce websites in 19 countries. We employ 2.1 million associates around the world — nearly 1.6 million in the U.S. alone. We aim to build a better world — helping people live better and renew the planet while building thriving, resilient communities. For us, this means working to create opportunity, build a more sustainable future, advance diversity, equity and inclusion and bring communities closer together. And at the end of the day, helping our customers save more of their hard earned money for the things they care about most. Because at Walmart, Live Better is what we do every day. We believe Walmart has a differentiated proposition with respect to upward mobility: low barriers to entry into Walmart jobs, the stability of a 70% full-time workforce, and predictable scheduling; competitive compensation and benefits; and distinctive training, development, and pathways to promotion and careers. Our approach is based on the following principles: • Belonging: Make Walmart a place for everyone where associates know they are listened to, valued, engaged, and supported. • Well-being: Prioritize the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of associates by providing attractive pay and benefits, many of which start on the first day of employment. • Growth: Provide opportunities for all associates to learn and grow through leading in-house training programs, an industry-leading education platform, and multiple career pathways. • Strengthening workforce development beyond Walmart: Strengthen the U.S. frontline workforce development system in retail and related sectors. Walmart is committed to making retail a place of inclusive and equitable opportunity for our associates and across related sectors. We use our position as an employer, retailer and community member to promote respect for human rights. And we continue to pursue special initiatives to increase the sourcing of products that support the creation of American jobs. Join us!

The United States Postal Service (USPS) handles cards, letters, and packages sent both domestically and internationally. The USPS delivers 145 billion pieces of mail a year to some 153 million addresses in the U.S. and its territories. The independent government agency accepts no tax dollars and relies on postage to fund operations. Though USPS has a market dominant status on delivery of mail, it faces competition from other carriers for services such as package delivery. The USPS, much like a private sector company, is overseen by a Board of Governors. Nine of the eleven members are appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. The Board of Governors select the postmaster general, and together they name the deputy postmaster general; the two also serve on the board.
