Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day is a national holiday, giving American workers a day of respite from their usually busy schedules! It comes every year on the first Monday in September.

The holiday came from the American labor movement, and according to the U.S. Department of Labor it is a "national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country".

You can read more about the history of Labor Day at the U.S. Dept. of Labor's website: http://www.dol.gov/opa/aboutdol/laborday.htm.

Enjoy your day off! You deserve it!
