750K federal workers risk furloughs in government shutdown, CBO estimates

CBO is basing its estimates on the agencies' contingency plans and departments and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). "The number of furloughed employees could vary by the day because some agencies might furlough more employees the longer a shutdown persists and others might recall some initially furloughed employees," Swagel writes. Every agency and department must decide which employees are "excepted" and which ones to furlough. None of them will receive pay during a shutdown.
