I always thought 9 to 5 was the actual standard american working time. I also thought it was weirdly late.

So at what time do Americans actually work?

I mean, I'm at work from 8 to 5, but the hours where I actually do work are closer to 9 to 5...

7:30am to 4pm with 30 minute lunch break.

It is an American thing. In France it is usually 9 to 6 with a 2 hours lunch between because we like to have fun.
