Current time in Los Angeles

About time in Los Angeles

Los Angeles runs on Pacific Time, three hours behind New York — the split that shapes the US working day, since a 9am meeting on the east coast lands at 6am here. California voters approved a move to permanent daylight saving time in 2018, but the change needs an act of Congress that has not happened, so the clocks still move twice a year.
