Here’s What Would Be Hit By A Government Shutdown

With a government shutdown potentially starting on October 1, here’s what to expect. Despite the term ‘shutdown’, many government functions will remain fully operational due to being deemed essential or having a separate budget process.

However, other government functions will shutdown or have limited operations. This means that a government shutdown will be disruptive for many, but is highly unlikely to push the economy into recession unless it lasted unusually long.
