Despite continued cost-cutting efforts that include a reduction of 7,500 administrative positions, the U.S. Postal Service lost $3.1 billion in the third quarter of the fiscal year as mail volume continued to plunge. Postal officials said Friday that they will be forced to default on payments to the federal government by fall if Congress does not act.
