Re: "Thx in advance..."I don't claim to have the answer. But I suspect that 25% is closer to it than 7% is.

There are some federal staff who are furloughed and supposedly will not be paid. There are others who are working but not being paid UNTIL THE "SHUTDOWN" IS OVER. There are others who are working and being paid but only because President Trump found a little extra money with which to pay them. If the shutdown goes on much longer, they'll fall into the "not being paid until [later]" category.

What I can tell you is that Homeland Security says it is furloughing 202,000 of its staff. That alone is more than 7% of the federal civilian workforce.

Not counting the USPS. I believe it is funded separately and will not be furloughing anyone.

The furloughs at Homeland Security alone are greater than the "7% total furloughed" figure Nemo heard. Perhaps what was said was along the lines of "7% of federal workers are not working right now" (since many more are working but not receiving pay for it until later.) Or something like that.

MATH is an exact science. "something like that" is not giving us the precise number of furloughed government employees.

I am trying to figure out the percentage of people who will not be getting paychecks tomorrow.

It *seems* like it is closer to 25% rather than 7%.

I am not usually this easily confused in regards to calculations.

7% are not working, but "many more" are not furloughed but also not receiving a paycheck. We don't count them as furloughed then?

Thx in advance...
