A top White House economy official, Kevin Hassett, said Sunday that layoffs to the federal workforce could occur quickly if negotiations with Democrats to reopen the government don’t lead to any progress.
Hassett, who is the head of the National Economic Council, said that the administration and Republicans will negotiate their position to end the government shutdown but said he hopes Democrats come to a compromise soon. If not, the layoffs will start, he said.
