Federal workers in Washington aren't the only ones going without pay

The continuing government shutdown may hit hard throughout the country, especially in places where federal workers in affected agencies account for a relatively high share of jobs.

The top 10 places where agency workers affected by the shutdown are most concentrated are Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, South Dakota, West Virginia, Idaho, The District, Maryland and Virginia.

While around 75 percent of the government is fully funded, the federal agencies that are shut down employ more than 800,000 people who work in all 50 states, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the federal Office of Personnel Management. The total of their reported salaries tops $1.4 billion per week, a reflection of their economic impact.

As a share of all workers, federal employees affected by the shutdown are as common in Montana and Alaska as they are in Maryland.
