Original Note:
While it is true that many government workers are furloughed during a government shut down, many essential staff continue to work without immediate pay. All staff receive full back pay once the shut down ends, as covered by the Government Employee Fair Treatment act. https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2020/12/guide-pay-and-benefits-during-shutdown/170826/ https://www.fedsmith.com/2021/12/01/government-shutdown-new-law-federal-employees-need-to-know/
