About National Labor Day in the United States
United States
Ends: Sep 01, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Labor Day honors the American labor movement and the workers' contributions to the country's economy.
Labor Day traces back to the 19th century when laborers sought to improve harsh conditions. The holiday's first observance is disputed; some credit Peter J. McGuire, co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, while others claim Matthew Maguire, a machinist's union secretary, first proposed it in 1882. Both events occurred in New York. Oregon became the first state to make Labor Day a public holiday in 1887. Amid widespread labor unrest, including the Pullman Strike, Congress established Labor Day as a federal holiday in 1894.
The holiday signals the end of the summer. It is one of seven national holidays American workers traditionally get off, including the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, Juneteenth, and New Year's Day.
Those who do not get this day off are paid holiday pay, usually 150% of their hourly salary.
Parades are held throughout the United States, but the most common way to spend Labor Day is with friends and a picnic or backyard bar-b-ques.
