If counted by European standards, the US has a 35-hour work week. Americans are counting their five one-hour lunch breaks to arrive at the "office worker" schedule of 40 hours a week, 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday with a lunch break at 12:00 to 13:00

Many, if not most, Americans are probably not being paid for that lunch break, and are in fact working 0800 to 1700 or something along those lines for an actual 40 hours. That's how it was for me the last regular "9-5" that I had 10 years ago, and I'm pretty sure things haven't gotten better since then.

I don't know if all european countries. But here the 30 minute break is also counted as work hours.
