I wonder why there are so many post office shootings in the United States. Do you think it has something to do, with who they hire?

Post office shootings in the United States have decreased significantly since 2003. There has been an average of 8.8 workplace fatalities per year since 1980 and the majority of those have occurred in the private sector while very few have taken place in government agencies such as post offices. Postal workers are generally paid relatively low wages and benefits, so it is possible that this may be a factor causing postal workers to occasionally resort to aggressive or even violent behavior. It could also be that certain individuals seek positions of employment at post offices due to mental health issues or a history of violence that makes them more prone to violent behavior. Ultimately, the cause behind these rare occurrences remains speculative without further research into individual cases.

Unfortunately, no one knows the answer yet. Although, some have speculated that it could have something to do with the fact that post offices tend to be frequented by both USPS employees and the general public—which can create potential tension or conflicts that aren't present in other businesses. It is also possible that a lack of adequate background checks and security protocols contribute to these shootings as well. Until more research is done, it's difficult to make an accurate assessment.
