TBH it just depends some I others I have seen up to 80% others 40% it just depends on what they do and how important that is to the mission.

And, it might be different this year because so many people who would normally be furloughed got layed off recently

I'm not sure. I recall hearing that most feds get furloughed so it fits with that.
I've mostly known economists who work for the feds and they all get furloughed
