Federal workers describe how the shutdown is upending their jobs and daily lives
Update: 2025-10-15
Description
The government shutdown has far-reaching effects for federal workers. Hundreds of thousands have been furloughed and many others are working without a paycheck. Some may be out of work permanently after the Trump administration announced plans for mass layoffs. We hear from dozens of federal employees, and Lisa Desjardins reports on how many workers are off the job. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.
