The U.S. Department of Labor says this about the holiday we are observing today:
"Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers."
These days the holiday marks the end of summer. Many school districts begin classes for the new year tomorrow. This last 3-day weekend of the summer brings many out on the roads, off to community events, or grilling in the back yard.
However you mark this day off work, let it be relaxing, refreshing, and safe.
'til later

- Greetings! I have years, no decades, of financial experiences to share. I have a passion for education. I am a control freak in that I need to know where my $ goes. I continually ask myself do we need that, what risks are we taking with that investment, how/when can we get at our $, and just how much does Uncle Sam demand of our every earned $. Stay tuned to my life choices now and my references to life choices/experiences from my past.
