Financial cuts....

[svetick]

What particular jobs are affected when the government is going through a major financial cuts? I hear on the news that people are afraid for their jobs becaus most of them are supporting their families, I am just not sure what particular jobs in general it will hit. I am a caregiver myself but so far my company have not been affected by it....
Thanks whoever will reply

As I understand it, any businesses receiving federal funds will be affected by across the board cuts, which will force the businesses to make some hard choices that may include laying off some employees.  The full impact will take some time to identify as it filters down to the businesses' financial bottom lines.  Companies already operating on a shoestring will have an extremely difficult time.

My mom is a teacher and she hasn't got a raise or anything in a while due to financial cuts. I think she also said she's not under contract or something because of the budget cuts too. They also don't hire new teachers and lay off some existing ones.

Come to think of it, everyone who has a job need to hold on to it, I would assume now it will be harder to find a job for an average person

I know some non military government workers and there will be some furloughs depending on the agency. Some one day a week and some one day a 2 week pay period or month.
As far as the Military goes theres been some training program reductionsand some deployment and training cancellations already and theres talk of extending some exsisting deployments.
I hope they can come to an agreement soon and work to reduce waste because an across the board cut is throwing the baby out with the bathwater imho.

My husband is a federal civilian military employee and will be affected by the furloughs.  We are told we can expect a $600 a month decrease in his bring home wages.   Since he is the only one that works and I am a stay at home mom this isn't what we would hope would happen.

My husband's job is being hit by these financial cuts. He is a medical clerck at one of the clinics at the army hospital. Next month they will be enforcing something called furlow where he will be required to take one day unpaid leave every week. This is going to put a serious dent in our budget.
