From Jodi Beggs, your Guide to Economics

Hi Everyone!
The government may be shut down, but economists are doing their best to maintain business as usual. (You can read about some of their frustrations below.) Hopefully everything will return to normal soon, especially as far as that whole government employees not getting paychecks thing is concerned.
Cheers,
Jodi
