See the report for more information about the survey methodology.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe federal government shut down on October 1, after Congress failed to agree on a new budget for the 2026 fiscal year, forcing hundreds of thousands of federal workers to go without pay and disrupting some state and local programs that rely on federal funding. The stalemate has rattled economists and consumers alike. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the shutdown could shave up to $14 billion off the U.S. economy and temporarily slow growth by as much as two percentage points if it extends through the end of November.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>21% of Americans say they are delaying a major purchase due to the shutdown<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nOne in five Americans (21%) now say they\u2019re delaying a major purchase, up from 17% in early October, while 15% say they\u2019ve canceled plans altogether, up from 7%.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe majority (57%) say the shutdown has caused no impact to their timeline for making a major purchase, down from 65% a month ago.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Nearly half of Americans say the shutdown has had a negative impact on their lives<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe shutdown\u2019s footprint extends beyond purchases. Nearly half (46%) of Americans say it\u2019s having a negative impact on their life, with 16% saying it\u2019s having a major negative impact and 30% saying it\u2019s having a minor negative impact.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHalf of Americans (50%) say the shutdown has had no impact on their own life.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>35% of Americans are doing worse financially because of the shutdown<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nMore than a third of Americans are doing worse financially because of the government shutdown, including 12% who are doing much worse and 24% who are doing a little worse.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe majority (61%), however, say the shutdown has had no impact on their personal financial situation.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>7% of Americans with monthly housing payments have missed a payment in the past three months, while 13% have been late<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nOf the 745 respondents with a monthly mortgage or rent payment, about one in five have missed (7%) and\/or been late (13%) to make their housing payment over the past three months.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOf those who have a monthly housing payment to make, 14% are likely to be late on their payment in the <i>next <\/i>three months, while 10% are likely to miss a payment in the <i>next<\/i> three months.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>A third of people who have missed or been late to make housing payments, and who are likely to, cite government shutdown as a direct cause<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nOf the 107 respondents who have missed or been late to make monthly housing payments in the past three months, and who are likely to miss or be late in the next three months, 32% say the government shutdown is a direct cause.

Increased debt or credit obligations (26%) is the second most cited reason for respondents who expect to miss or be late making their payment.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>33% of workers are concerned about their job security<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAdding to the effect of a government shutdown and general economic uncertainty, several high-profile companies\u2014including Amazon and UPS\u2014announced major layoffs in late October impacting tens of thousands of employees.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNearly 33% of workers surveyed said they are concerned about their job security\u2014virtually unchanged from Redfin\u2019s August job security survey (31%).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe majority (61%) of employed survey respondents say they were confident about their job security, including 41% who are very confident and 20% who are somewhat confident. Those numbers were also similar to August\u2019s results.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOf the workers who <i>are <\/i>concerned about their jobs, tariffs (21%) and government restructuring (20%) are the most cited reasons for the concern.
