A Labor Day Holiday Notice
September 4, 2023 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Today is a national holiday in both the United States and Canada (though the Canadians spell it Labour Day). The U.S. Labor Day has been federal holiday since 1894, and honors both the American labor movement and the contributions of laborers in the creation of the United States. Labor Day falls on the first Monday of September and is often considered the last day of summer in American culture. This is likely because the American school schedules resume around the beginning of September.
In the U.S, Labor Day was informally observed from the 1880s onward. Little known fact: the state of Oregon was the first U.S. state to make Labor Day an official public holiday, doing so in 1887. By 1894, with 30 states recognizing Labor Day, the U.S. Congress passed a bill making Labor Day a federal holiday. In Canada, Labour Day became an official national holiday in 1894 as well.
The I-Connect007 staff will be proudly observing this holiday, returning to our regular duties on Tuesday.
