Labor Day
What is Labor Day?
Labor Day is a national holiday observed on the first Monday of September in the United States. It’s a day dedicated to the American working class, and it’s a great excuse for us to have a day off from work to do more…work!
Labor Day was created in the 1800s, when the average American was working 12 or more hours a day, seven days a week. Crazy, right? The labor movement helped push for a day off as a way to recognize the contributions and sacrifices of the American worker. And boy, do we deserve it!
How to Celebrate Labor Day
Celebrate Labor Day by sleeping in, taking a leisurely walk in the park or cracking open a cold one before noon. You deserve it!
You can also celebrate Labor Day by wearing white pants or shoes, just don’t tell your grandma, she’ll be disappointed. You can also have a barbecue with your friends and family, because nothing says “labor” like standing next to a grill all day.
