In one usage, to put in an honest day's work means to hold a regular job: "Supported by Engels's income as an absentee landlord, Karl Marx never put in an honest day's work in his life."

In another usage, the phrase means to make a sustained effort, or a commitment to a task: "We put in an honest day's work getting the two sides to agree."
