Workers going unpaid during the shutdown owe $438 million in rent and mortgage payments this month

The partial U.S. government shutdown has continued longer than any in U.S. history and left many federal workers without a paycheck. A whopping 800,000 workers aren't being paid, including 380,000 who are furloughed and 420,000 who are working without salary , according to a recent report from real-estate website Zillow . Of the workers who own a home, their total mortgage payments add up to $249 million per month.
