In this Monday, March 4, 2013 photo, salesman Donnie Alford talks on the phone in his office at Auto Express in Fayetteville, N.C. The auto and wheels business is located on Yadkin Road, near a main entrance to Fort Bragg military base. More than 8,500 civilian employees on the base will be furloughed one day a week starting in late April, the equivalent of a 20-percent pay cut, possibly affecting small businesses near the base.
