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.
Observed on the first Monday in September, Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day also symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, parades and athletic events. Labor Day, an annual celebration of workers and their achievements, originated during one of American labor historyâs most dismal chapters.
