Has anyone had a situation where their compensation for a job offer changed $15-$20k less due to the government shutdown? Subcontractor reached out to me today to follow up on a role we discussed back in late-September & now he’s telling me the role pays $10/hourly less than what was originally advertised a month ago. Is the normal? How’d you respond if your recruiter told you that? Would you still accept the role?

I think the layoffs and the government shutdown have made certain employers realize that they don't actually need to pay people well in order to fill the spots. It's awful but I'm noticing it as well.

I have noticed a similar trend of less attractive offers lately. Especially with the economy becoming more skewed to favor employers

This has never happened to me. But if it did I would decline or just ghost them.
