Did the 1997 UPS strike devastate the economy?

  No, but package delivery is a much larger part of the economy today than it was 26 years ago. Many more businesses today depend upon UPS for delivery of parts.

    I also wonder how much of ‘just in time’ / lean adoptions over the last 26 years might also play a part in potential negative effects.

    >package delivery is a much larger part of the economy today than it was 26 years ago In this "age of big data", is there a way to quantify it? Ideally, it would be interesting to see the inflation adjusted package carrier revenue per capita for the past 30 years or so in the U.S..
