Labor Day is a national holiday celebrated in the United States on the first Monday in September.
Labor Day is an American holiday that pays homage to the achievements and contributions made by the American Labor movement to the economy of the US. It is celebrated quite fondly all over the USA.
Additionally, Canada also participates in Labor Day on the same day as the US. The idea originated in 1882 when the Central Labor Union accepted the Labor Day proposal and selected a committee to organize the festivities.
Hence, the first Labor Day officially took place in New York City on 5 September 1882. Consequently, it wasn't long before a state bill was formulated, which eventually led to the United States Congress passing an act that made Labor Day a federal holiday in June of 1894.
International Workers' Day, called Labor Day in many countries, is celebrated on 1 May. This holiday has the same meaning as Labor Day in the North American continent but is just celebrated on a different day. Hence we have thrown in some jokes about May Day too!
