This Week in Jobs: Change your clocks and your career with these 19 tech opportunities

Good morning! Still feeling groggy?

For many of us, the only consolation to Sunday’s “fall back” was the promise that it would be our nation’s last. But is that really the case?

Back in March 2022, the Senate unanimously passed the Sunshine Protection Act, proposing that once we fell back this fall, we’d never change the clock again. But since that show of bipartisanship, this legislation’s been at a standstill.

Of course, there have been more important Congressional issues to address, but even so, the passage of this bill through the House (and Biden’s signature) could be an uphill battle. For one, medical professionals oppose the act, saying that we should, as a nation, default to standard time (aka an hour earlier), not daylight saving time. Throw in that some states are trying to end daylight saving time on their own, and it gets complicated.

Whether we set the clocks an hour forward in 2024 is still a mystery. In the meantime, spring forward onto this week’s new opportunities.
