How many more hours of work per week do you need to equal last year's Needs?

Your labors have been paid with a severely weakened dollar. How many more hours of work per week do you feel are needed ( even if they are physically impossible to attain) to reach the same level of purchasing power that you had at this same time last year ( 2007)

16 is my best guess, considering the oil and gas prices have skyrocketed - some food products have doubled in price, and electricity gets more expensive every year. What got cheaper? Nothing where I live!

As as possible or using logic it would depend on how much they pay an example would be this 10 per week that means 10 hours a day equals $100 aday so in 5 days it would be $500 dollars then you check how many working days (mon-fri) in a month get the total then times it by 12 if it is lower than what you spent last year either get a raise or work mon-sunday !!!!!!
