In our research for our podcast we found much information about the impact of the
sequestration. We found employment statistics about WPAFB, such as how
many people (both military and civilian) work there, how many lost jobs
due to sequestration, and how many faced pay cuts. We also found out
about some of the programs outside of WPAFB which were unaffected, such
as the Pentagon's IT department.
We interviewed Jordan Adams because
he worked on base and, as it turns out, he was one of the temporary
workers who was put out of a job because of sequestration.
