Happy Labor Day! Thank you to everyone who works hard to make the world tick. And to those who are working even today, an extra thanks to you! Did you know that...
1.) Labor Day began in the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894.
2.) In the late 1800s, the average American worked 12-hour days and 7-day weeks.
3.) On June 28, 1894, Labor Day was signed into law by then-president Grover Cleveland.
4.) The two people most associated with founding Labor Day are Peter J McGuire, cofounder of the American Federation of Labor and Matthew Maguire, secretary of the Central Labor Union.
Hopefully you enjoy the good times with family and the extra day to rest. We wanna leave you with a valuable quote in remembrance of this holiday!
“A job should not define who or what you are. You should be able to leave today and it not change the overall purpose or direction of your life…Work opportunities can come and go—the direction of your life should remain constant.” — Dan Miller
