Labor Day is a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions of workers who help make our communities strong.

Observed on the first Monday of September, Labor Day honors the history and achievements of American workers and the labor movement. It’s also a chance to appreciate the many people whose hard work supports our families, schools, businesses, and communities every day.

As we enjoy the long weekend, let’s take a moment to recognize and thank the workers—past and present—who help our communities thrive.
