In the United States, the federal Labor Day holiday falls in September.
Labor Day is observed on the first Monday of September, creating a three-day weekend for many workers. The holiday honors the contributions and achievements of workers and the American labor movement.
The date distinguishes U.S. Labor Day from International Workers’ Day, which is commonly observed on May 1 in many countries. The two holidays share a focus on workers but have different historical origins and calendars.
Because Labor Day occurs near the transition from summer to autumn, it is also associated with the unofficial end of summer in the United States. However, the astronomical season does not change on the holiday itself.
