Monday, Sept. 5 marks the annual celebration of Labor Day and all that the American worker has accomplished throughout history. The national holiday, which dates back to the late 19th century, is a day that recognizes the many contributions that have been made by the American worker, such as their social and economic achievements, according to the Department of Labor.

Since 1894 – the year that Labor Day was designated a federal holiday – it has been a day that commemorates U.S. workers. Some people use this time to get out of town for one last trip before the summer ends while others may hold parades, barbecues, or parties in honor of the day.
