Labor Day marks the unofficial end of the summer season – it’s time to break out the BBQ and say goodbye to the lazy days of summer. Students are heading back to school and vacationers are regretfully retreating home. Labor Day is, of course, reserved as a holiday for hardworking Americans, so take this opportunity to gather friends and family for one last hurrah before you return to the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
History of Labor Day
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well being of the United States.
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. In 1884 the first Monday in September was officially selected as a “workingmen’s holiday” on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.
