The Partial Government Shutdown is having an effect on Federal Contractors, Subcontractors, Vendors, Suppliers, etc. and their employees.  Once the Shutdown ends, there will be studies estimating the cost of the Shutdown.  But what about now?  How bad is it for Federal Contractors and Their Employees out there?

This poll asks a simple question with answers from 1 to 5 with 5 being the hardest hit.

This poll is anonymous.

I would think a vote might change depending on how long the shutdown lasts.

This op-ed by a government contracts attorney asks Congress to pass a law to pay back contractors affected by the shutdown.

There is more than one effect of the partial government shut-down on federal government contractors or their employees.  These may include

• late or missed pay,
• increased costs from a delay in the contract work,
• impact of prices from vendors or subcontractors quoted to the prime and now changed,
• effects on an acquisition that was in process and now delayed by the shut-down.

I cannot think of all the possible effects on government contractors and their employees.  Since the federal government may partially close its doors once again at the end of the week, you may experience more of an effect.
