Labor Day!

By
Real Estate Agent with Crown Key Realty

 

If You Are Interested: Each year the first Monday of September is a national holiday called "Labor Day". It is an annual tribute to recognize the contributions of Americas workers to the strength, prosperity and well being of our great country. The labor Day movement started with simple municipal ordinances. While it was introduced first as possible legislation in New York, it was first passed into law in Oregon, on February 21, 1887. By 1894, an additional 23 states had legally adopted Labor Day as a state holiday. On June 28th 1894, The United States Congress passed into law that the first Monday of September was to be recognized as a national holiday, called Labor Day.

Interesting that it has history going that far back.  In those times people truly did grueling work in the USA and needed a real holiday.  Not so much anymore.

Than, you are correct as is Rob. People wanted to work, and they worked hard. That was, in my view, America at her best.

Dale, it feels like this holiday is no longer related to the original ideas and meanings.

Hi Dale,

Thanks for the history lesson.  I had no idea that Labor Day had been around so long.
