A third-week government shutdown furloughs 750,000 workers and threatens food aid, raising recession risks despite current economic stability.
The U.S. economy remains stable amid a government shutdown now in its third week, but prolonged inaction could increase recession risks.
Around 750,000 federal workers are furloughed or working without pay, facing financial strain, while millions of low-income Americans may lose food assistance starting November 1.
Economists warn a months-long shutdown could reduce quarterly GDP by up to 2%, weaken consumer spending and business confidence, and disrupt critical economic data flow, complicating policymaking.
While some experts say the economy’s resilience—marked by low unemployment and moderating inflation—may cushion the blow, others caution that delays in federal reports, contractor cash flow issues, and potential holiday season disruptions could amplify economic damage over time.
