"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?

Exactly! Though nobody counts work time that accurately here. So my actual hours are approximately what I stated, give or take 5 to 10 mins here and there.
