What is Labor Day?

Labor Day weekend is typically marked by sales and last-minute summer celebrations before school gets underway, but that’s far from the original meaning of the holiday.

The annual federal holiday is in recognition “of the social and economic achievements of American workers,” according the U.S. Department of Labor. Congress passed an act making it a federal holiday in 1894.

Before it was a federal holiday, individual states adopted the holiday. Oregon was the first state to pass a law to recognize it in 1887.

When is Labor Day?

Labor Day is always the first Monday in September. This year, Labor Day will be observed on Sept. 4.
