It’s hard to believe summer is coming to an end! This year, Labor Day is celebrated on Monday, September 7. According to History.com, Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late nineteenth century and became a federal holiday in 1894.
It is one of eleven federal holidays observed nationally by the US Government, which means the Post Office and banks will be closed, as are many businesses.
