The true number is hard to ascertain.

They are eligible for Unemployment though, which is something. Unfortunately, that's the chance you take as a contractor.

A lot of people take this route because contractors make more than the fed employees. If you have a spouse that can carry the health insurance, you can make some big money contracting. And a lot of contracting companies even offer benefits so that doesn't even have to be a concern.

Shutdowns are not new w/ Trump, there have been 22 of them since the 70's. Pretty much there is a threat of one every year at budget time.

not saying it doesn't suck, but it's pretty much life as a Gov Contractor.
