Ridgewood NJ, The U.S. Postal Service reported total revenue of $17.8 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 (January 1, 2020 – March 31, 2020), an increase of $348 million, compared to the same period last year.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has severely affected the U.S. economy, began to negatively affect the Postal Service during late March with declining mail volume, and the impact has continued to worsen since then. It is estimated that the COVID-19 pandemic will substantially increase the Postal Service’s net operating loss over the next eighteen months, threatening the Postal Service’s ability to operate. However, since the Postal Service began experiencing the impacts of the pandemic in mid-March, the pandemic did not have a material impact on its second quarter results, although significant impacts are expected for the remainder of the year.

TRENTON NJ, Early last month, Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation into law providing healthcare workers civil and criminal immunity from liability for certain malpractice lawsuits that allege injury or death incurred during the public health emergency. That was an important way to support those on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis. Now, as we look toward a gradual opening of the economy in New Jersey, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) is asking that the Governor and Legislature offer similar protections to small businesses that want to help lead the economic recovery.
