Workers at treasury department, health agency, Internal Revenue Service and the departments of education, commerce, and Homeland Security’s cybersecurity division, are being sacked.

As Federal Government entities stopped functioning, an enormous number of its employees are forced to stay home sans remuneration. For instance, NASA is set to furlough 83% of its 18,218 workers.
US Federal Government’s fiscal year commences from 1st Oct, but since Congress failed to approve funding, it shut down on Wednesday. Although three quarters of a million Federal Government workers will have to stay away from work each day, until the shutdown is over, Military and Welfare Programs will keep on functioning.
