What is Labor Day?
Labor Day is a US public holiday held on the 1st Monday in September. It first started in 1882 in response to the desire by the Central Labor Union for a day of rest for the working man. A tradition that still holds today, giving Americans a much deserved public holiday.
Fashionistas used to hold the view that as it marked the end of Summer, Labor Day was the last day of the year that it was acceptable to wear white clothing (particularly shoes). The Labor day holiday was first enjoyed by American workers in the 1880s.
