New York City has always helped witness the most significant celebrations like Independence Day, even amid the pandemic. This September, the entire country awaits another significant national holiday, “Labor Day.”

As the quote of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. goes, “No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”

Labor Day lets us reflect on that thought and celebrate our hard work and our hardships which lets us win the more significant and more minor battles in life. But, unfortunately, the pandemic has created an exodus in the workforce, forcing many people to lose their livelihoods. So as New York City gears up to celebrate this iconic holiday, let us join hands in supporting those fighting every day to make ends meet. 

At Carmel Limousines, New York City, we have some fantastic ideas on how you can celebrate Labor Day with your kith and kin with Carmel Limos as your transportation companion.

But before we present you with ideas on celebrating Labor Day, let’s take a look at the significance and history of this glorious day. 

The History of Labor Day

The history of Labor Day goes back to the late 1800s. It was when the Industrial Revolution was at its peak in the US. The average American worked for 12-hours a day for seven days to earn a basic living. Issues like child labor, unsafe working conditions, insufficient facilities cropped up. Consequently, laborers organized strikes and rallies to protest. Several of these events turned violent. 

In 1882, on September 5th, 10000 workers marched from City Hall to Union Square in New York City. Thus, it marked the first Labor Day parade in the history of the United States. 

Why and How Americans Celebrate Labor Day?

Americans celebrate Labor Day to pay tribute to the historic struggles and achievements of the American workers. Traditionally, every year, Americans observe the first Monday of September as Labor Day. However, this time it will occur on September 6th. 

Labor Day in America is celebrated in September instead of May due to its relation with the Haymaker bombing. In the May of 1886, a worker’s demonstration was held in Haymarket Square, Chicago. Unfortunately, the event turned into a tragedy after seven police officers and four civilians were killed in the bombing. 

Labor Day is always a celebration for Americans. This day marks the end of summer. Hence, for a few Americans, parties, parades, and special events are a must. A few others plan one last summer trip to the parks or beaches. And still, others enjoy barbeques in their backyard with friends and family.
