My new job has me contracted an hour longer than my previous job, but I'm entitled to an extra half hour for lunch so it's not really that bad. I'm at the office for 9 hours, probably work about 6.5-7 when you factor in lunch, morning dump, and general procrastination.

I'd kill to do like a 10 to 5 or 9 to 4 and still be allowed a decent amount of time for lunch.
 
Many studies have shown that the 6 hour work day is optimal. Actually most work drops in efficiency drastically starting with hour 5 and then go lower and lower. The last 3 hours of the average work day barely have any output.

I agree with this. I think we spent like 2 to 3 hours doing barely anything near the end of the day, unless something or someone comes up. Most work for the day is done already a bit past lunchtime.
