Maybe one of these?

postgres=# select pp_name,wp_date,sum(hoursofwork) from people,workpgsql where 
pp_id=wp_people group by pp_name,wp_date;
 pp_name |  wp_date   | sum 
---------+------------+-----
 ME      | 01-01-2000 |   9
 YOU     | 01-01-2000 |  12
(2 rows)

postgres=# select wp_people,wp_date,sum(hoursofwork) from people,workpgsql where 
pp_id=wp_people group by wp_people,wp_date;
 wp_people |  wp_date   | sum 
-----------+------------+-----
         1 | 01-01-2000 |   9
         2 | 01-01-2000 |  12
