On Labor Day, we stand in solidarity with all the workers who lift our Nation to new heights and all the labor unions who give all workers power and voice. May we continue working to restore the American Dream for every person willing to work hard in our Nation by embracing what has always been the foundation of our country’s success: investing in America and American workers. ~ JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America

American celebrate work and workers on this day by taking a break from work. The labor unions credited for this federal holiday began forming in the mid-19th century in response to the social and economic impact of the Industrial Revolution. National labor unions began to form in the post-Civil War Era in response to the dire need to create jobs in its wake.
