From Federal Worker to Uber Driver: Odd Jobs to Make Ends Meet in the Shutdown (nytimes.com)

This seems like unnecessary denigration of what is a very respectable job that provides more direct service than a federal work and probably more satisfaction to the worker


The WSJ reports that federal credit unions are extending payday loans to federal employees. So why so many articles about federal workers seeking odd jobs, defaulting on their mortgages, etc?

Can't they find their way to their banks?
