Labor Day is a public and federal
holiday in the United States. It honors the American labor movement,
and the contributions that workers have made to the country. Starting in
1882, labor days first began being organized and celebrated by labor
unions, and Oregon became the first state to make Labor Day an official
public holiday in 1887. Traditionally, Labor Day consists of parades, followed by gatherings of
workers with their families and friends. Labor Day also marks the
unofficial end of summer, and it is around this time that students go
back to school, and fall sports begin.
