I just don't understand how this can happen in our booming economy.  :frown:

It's time to move out of the state, guys. We still have some room over here in Missouri if you're interested.

I would move to MO in an instant if MO could figure out a way to rid itself of Missourians.

This is the major problem that it presents. I try to ignore them the best I can. Usually I just throw them a roll in the back alley and all is good.

The way the government is computing unemployment, it may actually lower it to 5.2%.

Furloughs aren't happening. State voted unanimously to just make all state employees "essential". Still no budget, though.

I've never been furloughed, but isn't it kind of like getting a vacation, except that after the vacation is over you get paid for all your time off? Or is a state furlough different than a federal furlough.

Also, if you're deemed a "nonessential employee" - isn't that about the time you start looking for a new job?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

at ms tobias' they basically just picked the receptionist to stay around and answer calls.  obviously varies from dept to dept, but pretty good odds if you're "essential" you're probably involved in some of the more menial parts of that workforce

You only get paid if a bill is later passed to give you your back pay. Also, "essential" employees are only those who are needed while the government is shut down. You could be essential to the office, but in the event of the office being closed, your job doesn't really matter.

And yes, if you receive a check from the state of Kansas, you should probably find a new job.
