Every year, we celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday of September, and this year on Monday September 7, 2026, we celebrate Labor Day. Many of us will travel, visit friends and relatives, celebrate and enjoy Labor Day Weekend with family and friends.
New York was the first state to introduce legislature for the holiday, but Oregon first passed Labor Day Holiday in 1887.
The very first Labor Day was celebrated before it was passed into law in New York City on Tuesday, September 5, 1882.
Labor Day became a federal holiday on June 28, 1894 when Congress passed an act designating the first Monday of September to be the legal day for the holiday.
For many people Labor Day weekend is the end of the summer for outdoor activities, take trips to visit friends and family.
I want to share a few good Labor Day quotes:
Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another. •Anatole France
If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. •Abraham Lincoln
Poorly paid labor is inefficient labor, the world over. •Henry George
It is labour indeed that puts the difference on everything. •John Locke
I want to wish to all my friends and to all members at Active Rain community a Happy, Fun, and Safe Labor Day.
