According to news, “Private sector employees in all industries reported an average salary of $44,600 per year. During the same period, government workers reported an average annual salary of $51,840 — $7,240 per year more than private-sector employees.”

So they have no savings to go 3 to 4 weeks without a paycheck knowing they will get paid when this is over. Living beyond their means?

So they have no savings to go 3 to 4 weeks without a paycheck knowing they will get paid when this is over. Living beyond their means?

Actually the first missed paycheck was on Friday. They've only been missing pay for five days. And they've had 3-4 weeks of knowing this was coming, when you'd think they would start saving and not bu spending their regular amount on Starbucks and fancy food! They should be completely fine for at least another week, probably two.
