This year, Labor Day will fall on Monday September 6th, 2022. This day is recognized as a day honoring the contributions, hard work, and dedication of American workers in our society. Labor Day is typically celebrated among most companies by having the day off to relax away from a day of work. It’s celebrated all over the country with parades, barbecues, parties, and more. Not only do people celebrate the concept of hardworking Americans, but the holiday is also often used to commemorate the end of the summer season.
