Labor day activities in the United States
Americans have celebrated Labor Day for over 100 years. In the past 100 years, the protection of labor rights and interests in the United States has developed quite well. Now, for many Americans, Labor Day is no longer a day to March in the streets and fight for rights and interests.
For most Americans, Labor Day provides them with a very rare long weekend of three consecutive days off. In the United States, Labor Day has also become a symbol of the end of summer.
Usually, people celebrate Labor Day through family reunions and demonstrations by union workers. For most people, there is no need to work or work on Labor Day. People get together with relatives and friends, barbecue outdoors, travel and watch football games during holidays. In some areas, Labor Day is the last day of children's summer vacation. After Labor Day, they will usher in the beginning of the new school year. [ 1][2]
