Labor Day originated in the late 19th century as a tribute to workers, emphasizing their struggles and advocating for workers' rights amid shifting job conditions.
The first U.S. Labor Day celebration featured a parade of 10,000 workers in New York City, reflecting the growing labor movement and the need for workers' rights.
President Grover Cleveland established Labor Day as a federal holiday in 1894, partly in response to labor unrest, aiming to placate the working class after violent strikes.
As Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, Americans enjoy a three-day weekend with barbecues, getaways, and shopping sales, celebrating both relaxation and labor advocacy.
