Celebrate Labor Day

The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, NY.

By 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, and on June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday.

American labor has raised the nation’s standard of living and contributed to the greatest production the world has ever known and the labor movement has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. Learn more by visiting: https://www.dol.gov/
