Rural.WhyTheFace is a visualization tool. The aim to demonstrate the challenges facing Rural Letter Carriers in the United States. Namely delivering hundreds of packages, daily, without compensation.

Wait, what? Hundreds of Packages without compensation?!?

Yes, because of quirks in the rural carrier pay system, and a surge in online shopping, carriers are essentially delivering truckloads of packages without pay.

So... Why The Face?

If you look a rural letter carrier in the eye, odds are they will look VERY tired. And now you know: why the tired face!
