I'm not sure any job really offers from 9-5 anymore. Maybe 8-5.
For what it's worth, several economic consultants have told me they average 40-45 hours a week but have very high variance.
Are any econ consulting firms only work 9-5?

Are, not ate
If you ate in canada, want to have absolutely no challenges on you, and go home each day around 4, join the goverment and feed from the trough.
Is it weird that I interpreted this misspelling as "average treatment effects" and it sort of made sense?

US labor force is bimodal -- either you are replaceable slave working fixed hours or a (so far) unreplaceable slave working variable hours.
Best bet is to live in a part of the US where a middle class lifestyle is feasible on 1 or 1.5 incomes, so that you and your future/present wife don't kill each other from overwork.
