Thanks for calling that post out, that was my bad. I mistakenly thought that was the hourly workers in the federal buildings, but they'd be considered furloughed contractors not furloughed federal employees.

Looks like that number remains unclear. There's roughly 10,000 companies that contract out to the federal government and no easy way to figure out how many employees were not working because of the shutdown.
