[QUOTE="35years, post: 4368271, member: 60822"] The US economy and UPS's growth or retraction is not a straight line correlation. UPS actually does better in recessions . Companies tend to carry less inventory when our economy is in retraction. They then order 10 pieces of a comodity rather than 10 pallets. Off th he rails and over the road into UPS's just in time system.This increases UPS's share of the profitable business to business market. So when the vollume of dirrect to consumer residential shipments decreases, we usually see gains in the more profitable comercial sector. By the way UPS is always hiring. Even during the great recession. Additionally, to the point of losing 11% of our vollume to Amazon.... total 4th quarter domestic volume across all products grew nearly 9%. Since we are seeing neerly double digit vollume growth in the US, where Amazon is competing with us, I doubt we see anything like a hiring freeze. [/QUOTE]
