Working at a job for eight hours a day, normally from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (A nine-to-five). A normal white-collar job.
Typically a hourly paid worker works 8 hours a day, some salaried workers also work 8 hours a day and hence the expression
Most people in USA work an "eight hour day"

That's where the saying came from
