And now "Sunday Morning" takes a look at the government shutdown, By The Numbers:

Today is Day 23 of the partial federal government shutdown, the longest ever.

Some 800,000 government employees missed their first paycheck of the shutdown this past Friday, of whom:

Overall, the shutdown is estimated to be costing the U.S. economy more than $1 billion a week.
