Labor Day is a holiday in many countries, and the date that this holiday is held depends on the country where it is being celebrated. Labor Day quotes show how important this holiday is, and the fact that it is a celebration of those who toil and labor to earn a living. In the United States and in Canada Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday that falls in September, but May 1st is the date for this holiday in a number of other countries around the globe. Many employers give workers a day off on Labor Day as a reward for working hard throughout the year, and in the USA banks, government offices, and other types of businesses may be closed the entire day.
