FYI Tidbits – As federal budget impasse drags on, government agencies operate in limbo
This is America, on the installment plan.
For 177 days now, the longest period in 14 years, the U.S. government has operated without a budget. Congress is mired in a spending fight, with Democrats and Republicans arguing over what to cut from the budget and by how much. Each party sees its soul at stake.
Absent an agreement to fund the government until the end of the fiscal year in September, Congress has passed six short-term stopgap measures, one after another. The current one lasts until April 8.

The Walmart Foundation Donates $2 Million to Help Unemployed Women Get Back to Work
Grant Will Enable Nationwide Rollout of Dress for Success’ New Job Preparation Program
NEW YORK, NY /PRNewswire/ ~~ At its third annual Dress for Success day of service in New York City, the Walmart Foundation donated $2 million to the women-focused nonprofit. The grant will help Dress for Success expand its Going Places Network to 60 of its affiliate locations across the U.S. and give thousands of women the added confidence they need to ace interviews and get back into the workforce.
“Dress for Success is helping women get the skills they need to get back into the workforce and those services are desperately needed right now,” said Mary Fox, Walmart’s senior vice president of global apparel sourcing. “Three years ago, our New York office began building a relationship with Dress for Success by lending our time and skills because we believed in what the organization does to help women. We’re proud that our office’s community service efforts at the local level have grown to a national partnership between Walmart and Dress for Success.”
Dress for Success reports an increase in female jobseekers that have been out of work for several weeks. The most recent employment report from the Bureau of Labor mirrors the sentiment, reporting that nearly 44 percent of the jobless have been unemployed for 27 weeks or more.
Today, 300 of Walmart’s New York-based associates will review resumes, provide career advice and conduct mock interviews at Dress for Success branches across New York City.
“Dress for Success is already a leader in employment retention for disadvantaged women, but with this generous grant from Walmart, we will significantly expand our work in job preparation and career advancement,” said Joi Gordon, CEO of Dress for Success Worldwide. “The women we serve across the country will now have access to support and services for every phase of their professional lives, starting with the job search and leading to sustained employment and self-sufficiency.”
Dress for Success has more than 110 job training offices globally and served an estimated 48,000 women last year through its nationwide efforts. The Going Places Network by Walmart helps women gain professional skills, accelerate their job search and build confidence. Walmart and the Walmart Foundation are committed to funding opportunities that provide workforce training and development. Recently the Walmart Foundation funded a Goodwill program that is providing single mothers the tools they need to find employment, succeed in the workplace and support their families.
