“As many as 1,000 Secret Service agents, officers and workers could be furloughed as Homeland Security prepares for sequestration”
Good start...
Don’t get your hopes up too soon. When they say furlough, they mean they will be taking mandatory days off without pay. The projection is up to 14 of those days for the rest of the fiscal year. In essence those furloughed will lose 1 1/2 paychecks over the year. Something like a 6% loss of salary.
