Why do we celebrate Labor Day?

Is Labor Day just a reason for a day off or is there a deeper meaning? New Yorkers weigh in.

Workers deserve to be compensated for their hard work. If an employee is putting in the effort, they should be rewarded accordingly. As quoted by someone wise, 'I believe workers should get paid what they're worth.' And rightly so! Perhaps stock compensation is the answer. Let's appreciate the hardworking individuals who make our businesses thrive.

All the working class people: "We celebrate labor and how important unions are"

The one guy in a business suit: "It's about working HARD and GETTING BACK TO WORK also please don't unionize, my company might make less money off of your labor :'("

Labor day celebrates the contributions that working people have made to the well being and prosperity of the United States of America. That's just about everyone irregardless of socioeconomic status. Working people comprises people from all different walks of life from the most poorest to the middle class to the most wealthy. Labor day celebrates contributions from all working Americans. God bless the United States of America.🙏.

If they wanted to recognize and appreciate us...they could actually raise our pay with the rising costs of everything else

I have labored all day today from 7:52 a.m. to 9:52 p.m.
My husband was out of town to attend a Bachelor's party.
I raised 444 lbs. of a concrete block using a bottle hydraulic jack. I placed pieces of wood, and broken concrete pieces as support.
There are thick pine tree roots under the block, and it raises the concrete block. I am trying to level it with the entry to the home.
SO THIS IS HOW THE BABY IS BORN. A LOT OF LABOR PAIN.
MY HUSBAND DAKSHA DOESN'T KNOW THE LABOR PAIN I HAVE ENDURED IN
RAISING 2 NEITHER DO THE SONS.
I will be laboring and celebrating tomorrow the 5th and 2 more days after tomorrow with Vedmi.... my mother always made it on my birthday.🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My 2 sons were born on LABOR DAY/Gokul Ashtami and Ram Navami and are trained to be NOBLE BY MY IN--LAWS.
