Why do we refer to so many jobs as "9 to 5", when almost all of them start at 8 or earlier?

I’ve heard many jobs referred to as “9–5” jobs, yet, everyone starts working at 8, not 9. You can’t get to the 40 hour work week by starting at 9; you need a lunch break. So, why are they called 9–5s, and not 8–5s?
