Question

What is Labor Day? I mean what's the purpose?

Answer 1

It was intended as a day to honor the men and women that work to build this country, the workers. Funny thing though, the only people I see working on Labor Day are the workers, management always takes the day off.

Answer 2

It was first celebrated in the 1880's and was meant to honor the workers who labored to build this country.  It used to be a bigger celebration with a lot of parades and speeches.  Mostly now it just signals the end of summer for most of us.
