And in North Carolina, some state workers can choose to take a floating holiday on a day of “cultural, religious or personal significance,” including Juneteenth. In Pennsylvania, the day is designated as an “official annual observance” and a paid day off for state employees under the governor’s jurisdiction. Starting this year, California state employees can choose to take Juneteenth off in lieu of a personal holiday. and the states where Juneteenth is an official public holiday, other states give certain government workers the day off but haven’t declared Juneteenth a holiday at the state level. In Alabama and West Virginia, Juneteenth has been authorized as a state holiday for this year by a governor’s proclamation the holiday can become permanent in these states if their legislatures pass bills to make it so. In most of these states, Juneteenth is designated as a permanent state holiday and commemorated annually. The governors’ proclamations must be issued annually in the absence of permanent legislation. Legislatures in each state must pass a law for it to become a permanent official state holiday. Governors in Alabama and West Virginia authorized Juneteenth as a holiday for state workers this year, last year and in 2021. In Illinois, state workers get a paid holiday for Juneteenth only if it falls on a weekday. New Mexico’s Legislature added Juneteenth as an official state holiday in 2006, observed on the third Saturday of June it became a paid holiday for state workers for the first time in 2022. We supplemented those lists with an analysis of news reports about local observances of Juneteenth and, where relevant, state legislation. Our main sources for this analysis were state administrative, personnel and human resources websites, most of which post lists of official state holidays. We focused on states that observe Juneteenth as an official public holiday – meaning state offices are closed and state workers get a paid day off.
Pew Research Center took a look at how each state commemorates the day. When daylight saving is active, the time in Phoenix (Mountain Standard Time) and San Diego (Pacific Daylight Time) is the same, and both are one hour behind Denver (Mountain Daylight Time).Juneteenth is the newest federal holiday in the United States, and one that is celebrated differently across the states. The Hopi Reservation, which is not part of the Navajo Nation but is geographically surrounded by it, does not observe DST.Įxample:- When daylight saving is not active, the time in Phoenix and Denver is the same (Mountain Standard Time), and both are one hour ahead of San Diego (Pacific Standard Time). Unlike most of the United States, Arizona does not observe daylight saving time (DST), with the exception of the Navajo Nation, which does observe DST.
Thus, during daylight saving time, from March to November, most of Arizona has the same time as the Pacific Time Zone. Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone and most of the state (with exceptions noted below) remains in Mountain Standard Time (MST) all year. In the Greater Phoenix area we never change our clocks, since Arizona does not participate in Daylight Saving Time. Phoenix, Arizona's time zone is Mountain Standard Time (MST).
