Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day! There is some doubt about who first proposed a national holiday to honor American workers and their achievements more than a century ago. Over time, though, Labor Day has become less of a holiday for the working class than a universal salute to work -- a tribute to our egalitarian society. Just about everybody gets the day off. There are plenty of things you can do with your day off, like take a minute to read the history of Labor Day and how you come by such good fortune on a Monday. Then go out and have fun!
