History of Labor Day

Labor Day: What it Means

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 our country.

The true founder of Labor Day is in question, but its beginning dates back to 1882 and was first celebrated in New York City on September 5th.
