During shutdowns federal employees are split into “essential” and “nonessential” groups. Nonessential employees stop getting paid and are off work until the shutdown is over and essential workers also stop getting paid, but they still have to work. When a shutdown is over, federal employees are paid back the salaries they went without.
A shutdown usually stops a lot of government functions. Even though the military, air traffic control, federal prisons, and Social Security aren’t affected, the Office of Management and Budget estimated that the shutdown resulted in 120,000 fewer jobs. The last time the government shutdown was in 2013.The risk of government shutdown is because of the government's inability to agree on how much the government should be funded.
Significance: Is many things that we don't realize affect people's every day lives are stopped because the people in power can't even agree on a budget on time and that says alot.
