This chart reflects answers collected from question #9a from the Spring2020 and Winter 2020 surveys that asked: “How many hours per week are you working? Is this more, less, or the same than before COVID-19? Is this remote work?”

10 respondents were working between 21 and 30 hours a week
42 respondents noted they worked between 31 and 40 hours a week, remote
12 respondents noted working more than 41 hours a week
3 respondents did not have fixed hours
1 respondent said their hours increased slightly but did not give a total number of weekly hours
1 respondent said they now work three days instead of five, but did not give a total number of weekly hours
1 respondent noted they were working full time prior to going onto disability
