Labor Day 2024

Jean Pericone - Tuesday, August 27, 2024

What Is Labor Day?
Labor Day is a federal holiday in the U.S. that recognizes and celebrates the achievements of American workers. It is observed on the first Monday in September. The roots of Labor Day date back to the decades following the Civil War when workers took part in strikes and rallies to demand shorter workdays and better working conditions.


When Did Labor Day Become a Federal Holiday?
Labor Day was declared a national holiday in 1894. By the time it became a federal holiday, Labor Day was already an official holiday in 24 states.

The Bottom Line
Labor Day marks the day in 1894 that Congress declared the first Monday in September a national holiday to honor the nation's workers and their contributions to the well-being of the country.
Labor Day's roots date back to the 1886 Haymarket Riot in Chicago. The parades and festivities celebrating workers have remained a significant part of the federal holiday.
