\"US<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCapital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.<\/em>\u201d ~ Abraham Lincoln<\/strong><\/p>\n

Labor Day in the United States of America is celebrated annually on\u00a0the first Monday in September.<\/strong> The federal holiday which avails a long weekend to Americans, is a national tribute to workers that have contributed towards the establishment of a prosperous economy. It also honors the brave laborers who during the time of\u00a0Industrial Revolution, stood united and raised their voice against injustice, and brought well-being into the lives of people for years to come.<\/p>\n

The establishment of Labor Day can be traced back to the 1800s, when the USA was focused on industrialization. Today, the average American works for only 7 to 9 hours a day, but in the 19th Century, laborers put in more than 12 hours per day. To make it worse, young children were forced to work in mills and factories across the country, yet earning only a fraction of the wages given to adults. Even some of the adults, especially who were poor and recent immigrants, had to work in unsafe environments. Often, they did not have sufficient access to fresh air and sanitary facilities. This led to formation of labor unions, which organized strikes and rallies for better wages, reduced hours and healthier environment conditions.<\/p>\n

Speculation still remains regarding the founder of Labor Day. Many records suggest that it was\u00a0Peter J. McGuire<\/strong>,\u00a0co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, who proposed a day to honor the working population. However, as per recent researches, many believe that\u00a0Matthew Maguire<\/strong>, a machinist, and then-secretory of Central Labor Union (CLU)<\/strong> in New York was the one to submit the proposal. On September 5th,1882, the first effective labor organization \u2018Knights of Labor,<\/strong>\u2019 under auspices of CLU celebrated the first Labor Day, with a parade in New York City. However, it was few years later, on June 28, 1989, that Congress passed an act declaring first Monday in September of each year, as a legal national holiday.<\/p>\n

As of 2017, California<\/strong> has the largest employed population, accounting for 16,695,010 people.
\nOut of all the occupational sectors, Office and Administrative Support Occupations have highest number of workers, at 2,484,780. Today an average person in the US is paid $24.34<\/strong> per hour, thanks to the historical labor movement.<\/p>\n

Unofficially the holiday marks an end of summer. Parades, parties, fireworks and numerous athletic events are held, and there are no Monday blues.<\/p>\n

Here we give a quick glance to the current employment status of working population in the USA:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
