I was wondering how many hours are in a part-job per day, since I wanted to get a job. 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours?

Technically, less than 40 hours a week. That's fairly open.
So, all that you suggest would be a part-time job. A 7-hour day would give you 35 hours a week, which is about as much as you can get before hitting full time in America.
The average part-time job has about 24 hours a week, so 4 to 5 hours a day is appropriate. Or you may be working only 3 days a week at 8 hours.
There is no uniform definition for part-time. If it's not full-time (40 hours), then it's part-time.
Many companies will have reduced benefits for part-time work. Less than 20 hours means no benefits, while 30 hours means you pay more for insurance and receive less vacation time. That varies from state to state.

there are too many factors you have no included. I actually did do that. I make a lot more per hour now doing what I love & so does my husband. A person has t know what their set bills are & what they don't want to live without.They would have more time so some of those things probably won't be necessary. Less stress saves money. So this is not a black & white answer but once the details are brought up it should be easy to figure out.

It depends on the company.
When I worked for Wal-Mart I requested 15 hours per week as a part time employee.
They told me 38 hours was part-time. I ended up quitting.

Usually under 30 hours per week so they don't have to pay benifits

40 hours of work a week is considered full-time, anything less than that is part-time.

Generally, each state has its own rules, but for insurance etc 20 hrs and less is considered part time..

Well if you want to be technical about it, then lets back up a minute and define this term called " part-time", you see the ancient Mayans believed that part time means that you work or do something only part of the time.
