About Los Angeles
Los Angeles is three hours behind the US East Coast, which makes it the awkward end of any American company's internal scheduling: a 9am meeting in New York is 6am here. For anything involving Europe or Asia the West Coast is either very early or very late, with almost nothing in between. It follows the same daylight saving dates as the rest of the mainland United States.
