Government shutdown by the numbers: Who isn't getting paid?

WASHINGTON — It’s day eight of the government shutdown, and an estimated 800,000 people who work for the U.S. government are feeling the impact.

In many offices, contracts are on hold, travel plans have been canceled and paychecks have been stopped as President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats continue their standoff over Trump's $5 billion border wall proposal.

Here is how the shutdown is impacting federal employees by the numbers, according to estimates by the Senate Appropriations Committee.
