Labor Day: More than Just a 3-Day Weekend

The timing of the Labor Day holiday seems to indicate that perhaps the policymakers that enacted it were parents too, wanting to give one last break from academics after a long, lazy summer. Ok, I realize that’s probably a stretch, but since the holiday falls on the first Monday is September each year in the United States, it certainly has taken on that role in many families. But Labor Day is so much more than just another 3-day weekend spent lazing by the pool. In fact, it represents quite the opposite. Since the late 1800s, Labor Day has celebrated American workers and their contributions to the country’s innovation, economic development, and prosperity.   This excerpt from the United States Department of Labor, who celebrated its 100 year anniversary this year, sums up the concept of the holiday perfectly:   “The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership — the American worker.”   So we tip our hats to American workers everywhere, thanking them for their contributions to the betterment of society.
