What Is Labor Day?


Have you ever wondered what Labor Day is all about? Here is your answer from Wikipedia.


Did you realize the holiday was so old? I sure didn't.

"Labor Day is a United States federal holiday that takes place on the first Monday in September. The holiday began in 1882, originating from a desire by the Central Labor Union to create a day off for the "working man". It is still celebrated mainly as a day of rest and marks the symbolic end of summer for many. Labor Day became a federal holiday by Act of Congress in 1894. "
