by the hour

At each hour; once each hour.

-It kept growing darker by the hour.
-I have to take this medicine by the hour.
-He is losing control by the hour.

The line originally comes from the musical Cabaret’s title song. It is used as a metaphor for sex work.

working by the hour

When you see a truck going 10-15 miles per hour under the speed limit, it's a good bet the driver is being paid hourly and not per job. Also, the job is probably unpleasant so getting to it is not a priority.

No wonder traffic isn't moving. That sewer pump out truck driver is working by the hour.
