Upcoming Labor Day dates
Why Labor Day is on the first Monday of September
Labor Day is the first Monday of September in the United States, marking the contributions of the labour movement. It became a federal holiday in 1894, signed into law days after the Pullman strike ended — a conciliatory gesture toward organised labour. Most of the world marks the equivalent on May 1 instead.
Planning ahead
It closes the American summer the way Memorial Day opens it: the last long weekend before school terms are fully under way, another peak road-travel period, and the point at which summer inventory gets discounted. Retail sales over the weekend are reliably good for appliances and outdoor furniture.
