Southern California went 87 days without a clean air day, the longest stretch of consecutive ozone pollution violations in at least 20 years. Regulators blame the persistence in pollution on hot, stagnant weather and are studying whether climate change is driving it.

From two angles so far, we’ve seen how Americans spend their days, but the views are wideout and limited in what you can see. I can tell you that about 40 percent of people age 25 to 34 are working on an average day at three in the afternoon. I ...
