When I told my brah the government is shut down…😆

Many of Colorado’s 54,000 federal civilian workers in limbo amid shutdown, but public lands are open

Tens of thousands of Colorado workers were in limbo Wednesday as the latest partial shutdown of the federal government played out in Washington, D.C., resulting in furloughs across the country.

About 54,300 federal employees work in Colorado, according to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. That doesn’t include nearly 38,000 active-duty military service members who are based in the state, according to the Defense Manpower Data Center, and must continue serving without pay.

It wasn’t immediately clear Wednesday how the tens of thousands of civilian workers were spread across the different federal agencies with presences in Colorado, including at the Federal Center in Lakewood, government labs and other sites. Not all workers are furloughed, with significant exemptions in some agencies. Excepted employees, or those whose work includes protecting life and property, are expected to continue working, though they won’t be paid until the shutdown ends.

But some impacts were evident. The vast majority of staff and researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder were out of work due to the shutdown, according to U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse’s office, with some — from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the National Weather Service — working without pay.

Though the exact number of furloughed workers wasn’t available, most of the research at NOAA labs had stopped.
