President Grover Cleveland and the U.S. Congress made Labor Day a national holiday in 1894. A fashion tradition is never to wear white after Labor day. White clothing is usually worn in the summer to keep cool and Labor Day marks the end of summer. New York has the highest union membership rate at 24.7 percent; South Carolina has the lowest rate at 2.1 percent.
The Summer Solstice is but one way to measure the start of Summer. Meteorologists in the U.S. consider June 1 to be the beginning of Summer, September 1 (Fall), December 1 (Winter), and March 1(Spring). I think this makes more sense, no matter what all the silly U.S. calendars state about the equinox and the astronomical summer.
