The first Monday of every September is designated as Labor Day — a federal holiday to honor the social and economic contributions of American workers. It falls on Sept. 4 this year.
If you find yourself wandering a mall or shopping online this weekend, however, you might not realize the celebration dates back to the 1800s, with parades and festivals marking the holiday for the enjoyment of workers and their families. In modern-day America, Labor Day weekend is arguably better known for its quality and quantity of sales.
