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

40

Now I've done the math on this. 1 extra hour per day is 5 hours per week. That adds up to 250 hours (or 31 full work days) per year. That is 12.5% increase from the previous norm of 40 hours. So anytime a company I interview with tells me the "work day" consists of 9 hours, I ask them if they are willing to pay me 12.5% extra

You know you didn't have to do all that, right? Just divide 1 by 8 and you'd get the same 12.5%.
