Daylight Saving Time 2023: Why Arizona doesn't observe Daylight Saving abc15
Clocks in 48 states will"spring forward" this weekend as most of the United States moves to Daylight Saving Time -- but not for Arizona.But unlike almost everywhere else, Arizona doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time and hasn't done so for about the last 40 years.A 2008 report from the U.S. Department of Energy said sticking with one time could save approximately 0.5% of electricity per day for the country. That's enough power for 100,000 households over a year.
"Following [the start and end of DST], employees slept 40 min less, had 5.7 percent more workplace injuries, and lost 67.6 percent more work days because of injuries than on non-phase change days," explained the study, which looked at mining injuries between 1983 and 2006 from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
In 1973, a more permanent federal law was enacted to help with the oil shortages of that time. But Arizona asked for – and was eventually granted an exemption. Another Arizona Republic editorial from 1968 stated,"Drive-in theaters, the parents of small children, the bars, the farmers and those who do business with California" were against Daylight Saving time while"power companies, the evening golfers, the late risers, and the people with business interests on the Eastern seaboard" were for it.But don't be fooled by Arizona's DST stance. Not every corner of Arizona is exempt from Daylight Saving Time today.
