U.S. economic growth will be slower if shutdown continues
The U.S. economy will face a 0.1% cut from economic growth each week, if the shutdown of government services continues. Alongside, some economists expect the world's largest economy to lose 0.4% from growth every week. The governmental shutdown began yesterday, as the Congress did not accept the budget, while 800,000 workers went on unpaid vacations, closing museums and national parks.
