+## Scheduler Configuration
+
+The application includes an automated scheduler that runs the job scraping process every hour. The scheduler is implemented in `web/craigslist.py` and includes:
+
+- **Automatic Scheduling**: Scraping runs every hour automatically
+- **Failure Handling**: Retry logic with exponential backoff (up to 3 attempts)
+- **Background Operation**: Runs in a separate daemon thread
+- **Graceful Error Recovery**: Continues running even if individual scraping attempts fail
+
+### Scheduler Features
+
+- **Retry Mechanism**: Automatically retries failed scraping attempts
+- **Logging**: Comprehensive logging of scheduler operations and failures
+- **Testing**: Comprehensive test suite in `tests/test_scheduler.py`
+
+To modify the scheduling interval, edit the `start_scheduler()` function in `web/craigslist.py`.
