Friday marks the first missed paycheck for federal workers, but the effects of the shutdown will be felt by many others as well.

According to Paul Teske, a Distinguished Professor at the University of Colorado Denver's School of Public Affairs, the loss of income for tens of thousands of federal workers could quickly ripple through the state's economy. Colorado is more affected than many states due to its large number of federal laboratories, environmental agencies, and approximately 50,000 federal civilian employees working for departments like Agriculture, Interior, and Veterans Affairs.
