Listen "California's Federal Job Crisis: Shutdown Threatens Services"

Episode Synopsis

California's job market is on edge as a potential government shutdown threatens nearly 250,000 federal jobs, with 41,000 in the Bay Area alone. Workers like M.T. Snyder, who protect workers' rights, face furlough, halting essential services and raising fears of permanent job losses. The shutdown's impact could trigger widespread issues, delaying disaster relief, food assistance, and healthcare for veterans. Nancy Pelosi and labor leaders warn of crippled Social Security programs and FEMA's ability to respond to crises, as nearly 2,000 Bay Area federal jobs have already vanished this year, sparking concerns about the future of vital support systems.
