If the federal government shut down, how many workers in Kentucky would be affected?


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. -many-workers-in-kentucky-would-be-affected.html
Published in Politics and Government on Thursday, December 19th 2024 at 15:00 GMT by The Courier-Journal   Print publication without navigation

  • According to data from the U.S. Census and U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Kentucky has 22,079 federal civilian employees. They have an average salary of $82,140. The federal government has closed down 21 times since 1977, most recently in 2018.

The article from The Courier-Journal discusses the potential impact of a federal government shutdown on Kentucky, particularly focusing on the state's federal employees and the political dynamics at play. As of December 2024, with the government funding deadline approaching, there is significant concern over the livelihoods of approximately 27,000 federal workers in Kentucky who could face furloughs or work without pay. The situation is exacerbated by political tensions, with former President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance pushing for hardline stances on spending and immigration, which could lead to a shutdown if no agreement is reached. Kentucky's congressional delegation is split, with some members advocating for a bipartisan solution to avoid economic disruption, while others align with Trump's more confrontational approach. The article highlights the potential economic ripple effects on local businesses and services, emphasizing the urgency for Congress to act to prevent a shutdown.
