Federal Shutdown Impacts Government Employees
The federal shutdown has reached a critical point, with government employees missing their first full paycheck. Many staff members, including interns and part-time personnel in D.C., are not working or being paid.
According to the Bipartisan Policy Center, over 700,000 federal employees are affected, while a similar number continue to work without pay. This includes essential personnel like air traffic controllers and transportation security officers.
The shutdown has resulted in the closure of numerous federal offices across the country, with employees staying home without pay for most of October. The impacted employees will miss 10 paychecks, with the October 24 pay period being the first to result in no payment, regardless of their work schedule.
No money coming their way until Congress reaches a deal to fund the government.
