Did you know that the first Labor Day was celebrated in the United States in New York City ? Yep, on September 5th,1882. It became a federal holiday in 1894 after the Pullman Strike. It is in September so as not to be lined up with international May Day celebrations,and it is a state holiday in all 50 states.
Many of us take the weekend to rest,BBQ,take that last long weekend of summer, or in some cases start watching college sports -I only know college football starts this weekend because I recieved a Facebook invitation to a game !
But lets take a moment,and look back on the original significance of this holiday-its not just about the end of summer.
That said-have a wonderful Labor Day weekend !
