8 - If you have part time assistants or employees please list one number that represents the sum total hours all employees worked during 2007.
(Count full time workers as 2,000 hours. If you had two full time employees the number to be listed in the blank would be 4,000. Since many photographers used part-time assistants this is a way to assess the relative amount of support help necessary to achieve the above revenue figures. If your spouse works in the business either part-time or full-time include those hours. If you pay part-time assistants by the day count one day as 8 hours even if the assistant happened to be on duty more than 8 hours for one days pay. Do not include your own hours worked.)
