Schools and most businesses in the United States will close for Labor Day on September 2—a public holiday which honors workers in America. This Labor Day has extra significance given that it is the 125th anniversary of the holiday.
The first version of the holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City. Its creation, in large part, was thanks to the efforts of the Central Labor Union which wanted to create a holiday for workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The idea behind the holiday was to give the public a chance to appreciate the achievements of American workers and U.S. trade organizations.
By 1894, 23 more states had decided to adopt the celebration and in June of that year, President Grover Cleveland signed a law declaring that the first Monday of September every year will be a national holiday.
