The US federal government is now in the 33rd day of its partial shutdown. Because of the shutdown federal employees can’t get their salary.
800,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES MISSED THEIR FIRST PAY
More than 800,000 federal employees missed their first pay checks since the shutdown began in early January and they’re due to miss their second this upcoming weekend.
FBI AGENTS AREN’T ALSO GETTING PAID
Even FBI agents aren’t getting paid. Some investigations involving international terrorism, violent street gangs and drug and sex traffickers have been stalled because of dwindling resources.
