Full time employees were calculated at 40 hours per week and part time employees were calculated at 20 hours per week. This can be broken down into 1,084 full time employees and 348 part time employees. If removed the new total is 1,388 with 1,057 full time and 331 part time employees. Next, we inquired about the impact of tourism on local businesses. We learned that 78.4 percent of the businesses are affected by tourism to some degree and that only 15.9 percent claim to be unaffected by it.
Tourism has a definite impact in the village.
We then asked how the businesses would be affected if all tourism was removed from Pulaski. The majority, 42.9 percent of the businesses, re-plied that they would be effected between 0 to 25 percent. This refers to the negative effect on sales, hours, etc. Besides discovering all of this, we were able to upgrade the business database for both the municipality and the Chamber of Commerce. This information also increases the understanding of the Pulaski business community.
