To add yet another data point as the many other commenters have already done: I work at UPS in a distribution hub. Today, Friday April 17th, we're doing parcel volume of around 215,000. On a typical Friday this time of year we do around about 120,000 parcels. My hub is hiring more workers, extending shifts, and asking more workers to work double-shifts. Volume has increased so much at some hubs that the volume is being re-routed through other hubs to help deal with it. Why else would Amazon be hiring 175,000 people in a month? We're experience peak season volume in April. Online sales are absolutely up. |
