"The 9[am] to 5[pm]" is a common term for one's regular job, on the basis that normal people start work at 09:00 and finish at 17:00. I've worked a few jobs and closest I've ever gotten to this is 08:00 to 17:00, which I gather is standard.

Are there real jobs where people actually start at 9 and finish at 5?

I'm contracted to do 7.3 hours per day, and when I started my manager let me choose what time I start. So I do 10:00 to 18:00 with a 0.7 hour lunch break.
