U.S. Postal Service Seeks Approval to Raise the Price of Stamps

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is seeking approval to raise the price of fist-class mail stamps from 63 cent to 66 cents.  This comes just four months after the agency raised the price from 60 cents as an offset to inflation. The plan overall aims to hike prices by 5.4 percent, which would add up to a total of 32 percent in increases since early 2019.
