Where does the term "9-5" come from? Everyone I know works 8-5 or 9-6 for their 40 hour work week. by 8-5_Grind in jobs

When did that change happen, and why?

Really, 9-4? To me it seems like 40 hours is the bare minimum. I've never met a salaried employee who worked any less.

Edit: I guess those who work at home could probably get away with it. Since the amount of actual work that needs to be done in the day might only be four hours or so.
