The 9-5 work day usually refers to a work day without a lunch. It was common for employers not to offer lunch breaks for labor jobs. Even now, there are a lot of states that don’t require employers to give employees an hour for lunch. I live in Texas and they don’t require giving breaks or lunch.
Yeah, but I am refering to the time when 9-5 was first introduced, I imagine they would include lunch break, since most people do need to eat. If they were doing 8h without lunch break, I think they would simply call it 8-5 or 9-6.
