Labor Day is a national legal holiday that is over 100 years old.
Over the years, it has evolved from a purely labor union celebration
into a general "last fling of summer" festival.
It grew out of a celebration and parade in honor of the working class by the
Knights of Labor in 1882 in New York. In 1884, the Knights held a large parade in
New York City celebrating the working class. The parade was held
on the first Monday in September. The Knights passed a resolution
to hold all future parades on the same day, designated by them as
Labor Day.
The Socialist Party held a similar celebration of the working class on
May 1. This date eventually became known as May Day, and was
celebrated by Socialists and Communists in commemoration of the
working man. In the U.S., the first Monday in September was
selected to reject any identification with Communism.
In the late 1880's, labor organizations began to lobby various state
legislatures for recognition of Labor Day as an official state holiday.
The first states to declare it a state holiday in, 1887, were Oregon, Colorado, New
York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. Then in 1894,
Congress passed a law recognizing Labor Day as an official national
holiday.
Today, Labor Day is observed not only in the U.S. but also in
Canada, and in other industrialized nations. While it is a general
holiday in the United States, its roots in the working class remain
clearer in European countries.
It has come to be recognized in the U.S. not only as a celebration of
the working class, but even more so as the unofficial end of the
summer season. In the northern half of the U.S. at least, the
summer vacation season begins with Memorial Day and ends with
Labor Day.
Many colleges and some secondary and elementary schools begin
classes immediately after Labor Day.
State parks, swimming pools, and campgrounds are all quite busy on
Labor Day, as vacationers take one last advantage of the waning hot
season. September is the month that marks the beginning of
autumn. And, because of that, the average daytime maximum
temperatures take a plunge during the month in most of the U.S.
