Americans are asking, ‘How will a government shutdown affect me?’ Here’s what you need to know.
The possibility of a government shutdown is becoming more real for many Americans this week, and Google queries about what it would mean for people in their everyday lives were spiking on Monday morning.
And in the four hours before the workday kicked off at 9 a.m. Eastern time on Monday, search interest in how a shutdown would affect Social Security, veterans’ benefits and the U.S. dollar began to spike. Many of these queries were marked as “breakout” queries, meaning that search interest in them was more than 5,000% higher than in the previous search period — in this case, 5,000% higher than four hours earlier.
It should be noted that real-time Google search trends are dynamic and change throughout the day. So these searches may have risen or fallen since the publication of this article, and new ones may have taken their place — such as searches for whether members of Congress still get paid during a shutdown.
