T he first Labor Day was on September 5 , 1882 it was originally supposed to be on the 5 but 2 years later the people decided it would be the first Monday of September . It took the congress 11 years to finally make it a holiday in 1894 . Nobody really knows who came up with this holiday there was evidence that it was both Peter Mcguire and Matthew Maguire . This holiday is dedicated to the social and economic
achievements of American workers . An American worker has national strength , freedom and leadership . They also celebrate for some kids and people the end of summer and beginning of a new school . They use to have big parades celebrating everyone in the work place , introducing women and men . They still have some today but not as much and not as big . There ’ s parties , fairs and athletic events . Kids don ’ t go to school that day .
