Labor Day is an American holiday celebrated on the first Monday of September. It was created to celebrate the social and economic achievements of workers in America, but some people believe that it has lost its meaning over time. What do you think? Is Labor Day still relevant today?
Labor Day has a history that is rooted in the time of industrialization and labor organization. It’s been about 100 years since it became an official holiday, with its first celebration being held on September 5th, 1882. For many Americans, Labor Day marks the end of summer and signals the start of fall. We typically see this as an opportunity to reflect on all we accomplished during our vacation days. What have you done? Where did you go? Who did you spend your time with? Did you do anything productive or were you just relaxing? Why not use this post as a reminder to get back into work mode!
