A typical crew for a shuttle mission consists of 5-7 astronauts.
The Space Shuttle could carry a maximum of 8-10 astronauts per mission.
The Shuttle requires a minimum of four crew members to operate safely and there have been as many as eight. I haven't looked this up but a typical crew is probably about 6.
The shuttles have the capacity to carry 8 astronauts, but usually only 7 are on each mission. Sometimes the extra seat will be taken by the astronaut being returned to earth from the International Space Station.
Each Gemini mission typically had two astronauts onboard the spacecraft.

There are many many many jobs that are vital for the success of a space shuttle mission. Just to name a few: Workers that actually assemble and prepare the parts of the space shuttle for a mission. Engineers to determine if the shuttle and its payloads are safe and ready for flight. Trainers to help prepare the astronauts for their mission. Scientists to plan and assist with experiments onboard the space shuttle. The Close-out crew to help ready the shuttle for launch while it's on the pad, and help the crew enter the vehicle. Teams in the Mission Control Center to oversee the mission and assist the crew in planning and overcoming problems. And the list goes on and on and on. There are many thousands of people who work hard to ensure the success of every Space Shuttle mission.
