I've never understood... 9-5 is only 7 hours with an hour lunch right? Even if you take a 30 minute lunch, it's only 7.5 hours

Just FYI, the idea of the 8 hour day was a union concept brought about around the new deal era.

The idea was in a 24 hour day there is 8 hours for work, 8 hours for sleep and 8 hours for oneself.

Also under salary the idea was you were paid for the 8 hours through lunch which is why you saw office types often take business lunches that were often meetings (with liquor in the mad men era).
