Labor Day has been celebrated on the first Monday in
September in the United States since the 1880s. The September date has
remained unchanged, even though the government was encouraged to adopt May 1
as Labor Day, the date celebrated by the majority of the world. Moving the
holiday, in addition to breaking with tradition, could have been viewed as
aligning the U.S. labor movements with internationalist sympathies.
Labor Day is generally regarded simply as a day of rest and, unlike on May
Day, political demonstrations are rare. Forms of celebration include
picnics, barbecues, fireworks displays, water activities, and public art
events. Families with school-age children take it as the last chance to
travel before the end of summer. Some teenagers and young adults view it as
the last weekend for parties before returning to school.
