In Eastern Massachusetts, following World War II, the economy was transformed from one based on heavy industry into a service-based economy. Government contracts, private investment, and research facilities led to a new and improved industrial climate, with reduced unemployment and increased per capita income.
Now, nearly a full month before we fall back, Tom Emswiler is proposing a more local solution. Writing for the Globe, Emswiler argues that Massachusetts should secede from Eastern Standard Time and take our business one time zone east to Atlantic Standard Time: Used in eastern Canada, the Caribbean, and much of South America, it matches the time we already use in the summer, and would simply mean that in the fall, we donât have to fall back.
