They share 6 hours._ One day on MST clocks, with the same moments read on EST clocks underneath. A team spread across two time zones has fewer chances to notice someone drifting away. TeamPredict reads public LinkedIn signals to flag resignation risk early, wherever people work. ## The gap between MST and EST stays at 2 hours all year. Both zones are in the United States and move their clocks on the same two Sundays, so the gap holds. _Figure: The gap between MST and EST is 2 hours on every day of 2026 and 2027._ Each bar is one calendar year, January on the left.
