Bowing to Republican political pressure and growing budget concerns, President Obama will announce a pay freeze for civilian federal workers Monday, according to an administration source.
The decision means a big economic hit to the Washington region, home to more than 600,000 federal workers, making the federal government the region's dominant employer.
Obama will make an announcement about the pay freeze at 11:35 a.m., the White House said.
