A national drive began in October to hire an additional 20,000 seasonal employees, an extra 10.5 million square feet of space has been added to the network to process packages, 23 temporary peak annexes have been opened in addition to the 48 parcel support annexes opened for peak 2021, and we&#8217;ve installed 137 new package sorting machines. This brings the organization&#8217;s total to 249 new processing machines since the launch of the Delivering for America plan in <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 2021<\/span>. The new equipment combined with increased operational and network improvements will expand the organization&#8217;s package processing capacity to 60 million packages a day.<\/p>\n<p>As in previous years, Sunday delivery has been expanded in select locations that experience high package volumes. The Postal Service already delivers packages on Sundays in most major cities.
