Pacific Standard Time (PST) is 4 hours behind Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). When it's 3:00 PM EDT in New York, it's 11:00 AM PST in Los Angeles, resulting in the West Coast being significantly behind the East Coast for cross-country business coordination and meeting scheduling.

When it's 9:00 AM PST in Los Angeles, it's 1:00 PM EDT in New York during daylight saving period. This alignment means West Coast morning business hours correspond to East Coast early afternoon, making it ideal for daily standup meetings and project coordination between both coasts.
