Furloughed worker: "I have $1.06 in my bank account"

The Senate will vote on competing bills to reopen the government on Thursday, though neither is expected to pass, as nearly 800,000 federal workers face down missing their second paycheck on Friday.

According to a career survey, almost 80 percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and most government employees don't go into their line of work to get wealthy; they do it to serve the public. As CBS News' Ed O'Keefe reports, an increasing number of them say they don't think they can afford to keep their government jobs.

One paycheck from peril, Sigrid Layne, a furloughed federal worker, now faces a more urgent reality. "As of today, I have a dollar and six cents in my bank account," Layne said. "It's very terrifying when you look at your bank account, you have no money coming in, you don't know when you're going to get your next paycheck, and you're like, 'What do I do?'"

So far, her answer? Get groceries at food banks and sell things off her own shelves.

"Anything that I can sell that anybody would want to buy because, as I said, I have not been able to get another job," Layne said. "If someone wants to buy it, they can buy it. That's just how desperate I am."
