Labor Day is an American National holiday that takes place the first Monday of September.
(Future Labor Day Dates
2010, 2011, etc.) Some call it is the unofficial end to summer. Labor Day's true meaning is to honor the everyday working people. The people whose sweat build and maintain the heart of United States. Today Labor
Day is as normal as baseball, apple pie and fireworks on the fourth of July, but this was not always so.
How Labor Day all began... In 19th century America, the industrial revolution was in full bloom,
and people were needed en masse to feed the machines of mass production. Millions responded, coming from the farms by the promise of
the American dream, a trust in the commonwealth. The people wanted a secure year-round income in an environment sheltered from the often
harsh elements. What they found was a life toiling twelve and fourteen hours a day in dingy and sometimes dangerous conditions in factories
and underground mines.More about the History of the Labor Day
