This is in addition to the legacy mail he downsized, the envelope stuff because no one sends letters anymore with email of course and letter service has been drastically declining for years.
Still got to do some things by mail
relief checks and tax refunds for those without direct deposit.
tax forms (for those without printing services)
proxy voting for stockholders.
official tax, privacy, and insurance notices (electronic correspondence is disallowed or serves as a back up only).
utility bills for those who don't pay online
Snail mail isn't dead - because just like voting in person, the physicality of something being delivered or handled will remain..... until Star Trek transporter and replication technology is available.
1st class mail might be down by half, but parcel volume is vastly up. When I started you'd have a dozen packages for a whole route, and a few had delivery scans. Now I need 3-4 signatures a day and nearly all of my 100+ packages a day require some sort of scan.

Its not dead, but its 1/2 of its peak around 2000

Even more and more services are going electronic with the acceptance of digital signatures.
