Labor Day (USA)

Labor Day, observed on the first Monday of September, is a federal holiday honoring the contributions of American workers. Established in 1894, it not only marks the unofficial end of summer and the start of the new school year, but also embodies the spirit of the 19th-century labor movement's struggle for dignity and justice. Today, it has become a major cultural milestone for family barbecues, retail sales, and end-of-summer travel across the United States.
