About Labor Day
Labor Day is the first Monday in September in the US and Canada. It closes out the summer season and is a federal holiday.
The holiday honors the labor movement and became a US federal holiday in 1894. Canada's Labour Day falls on the same day. Many schools start the year right before or after Labor Day weekend, and it's traditionally the last big summer weekend for travel and cookouts.
