2017 Household Diary Study Released With Good, Bad News
The new 2017 Household Diary Study was released, detailing the use of mail and packages by American consumers.
The Household Diary Study (HDS) is a multi-year research study funded by the United States Postal Service. The study surveys a representative sample of over 5,200 households each year (on a government fiscal year basis) to provide a comprehensive and continuous description of the mail originating and destinating in American households.
The bad news: less mail is being sent and received by Americans. And in 2017 only about a quarter of household payments were made by mail.
The good news: package traffic is soaring. And the majority of bills sent to consumers remained in the mail.
