It comes around once a year and is celebrated across the nation. It give the American people a day off from work and school as holidays are expected to. The first Monday of September is recognized as Labor Day. Many people know it as the three-day-weekend holiday, which is fine. But the actual reservance of that first Monday in September is to celebrate the economic and social contribution of workers. The first Labor Day in the United States was on September 5,1882 in New York (photoed above). Proposed my Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor, after he witnessed the annual Labor Festival in Toronto, Canada. Thanks for the three-day-weekend Canada. Happy Labor Day!
