Federal Layoffs Are In Full Effect Amid Government Shutdown

The impact of the government shutdown has thousands of federal workers losing their jobs. This shutdown has led to immediate layoffs and longer-lasting job insecurity. As this unfortunate shutdown continues, more federal jobs are expected to be eliminated. The people most affected are average working citizens. Workforce layoffs are a complex issue affecting many aspects of the economy as well. The blame continues to sway between the Democratic and Republican party.

Essential workers such as traffic controllers, and federal law enforcement are still required to work. So far there are no negotiations being discussed at this time. Expect delays in federal services.
