History and Statistics for Labor Day 2009
 Labor Day is more than just a day that marks the first football games of the season, department store sales and the end of summer. Labor Day is a day to celebrate the achievements of American workers. Labor Day is not the typical holiday that honors American heroes or the men and women who have served in our military — Labor Day is a holiday that recognizes you, the American worker. The Central Labor Union of New York planned the first Labor Day celebration in 1882, which included a Labor Day parade followed by a picnic with music and speeches. Labor Day was made a federal holiday in 1894 by President Grover Cleveland. While Labor Day was originally associated with labor union activities, over the years it has become more of a day for leisure and a time to rest from hard work. Every year, Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday of September, and Labor Day 2009 is on September 7th.
This Labor Day 2009, you have a day off as recognition for the hard work of you and your fellow Americans. Here is some information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics most recent June 2008 employment data:
