We wish you a relaxing day as you reflect on the meaning of Labor Day!
Labor Day's purpose is to honor the social and economic achievements of American workers, a tradition born from the late 19th-century labor movement's efforts to establish fair wages, reasonable hours, and safer working conditions. While now a federal holiday and a traditional end-of-summer celebration with barbecues and parades, its origins lie in recognizing the vital contributions of laborers to the nation's strength and prosperity.
