In 1884, Congress created the Labor Day holiday, which came about because workers felt they were spending too many hours (60 to 70) on the job. The holiday today for many people marks the end of summer with outings and barbecuing, but also Labor Day sales so retail workers end up working more on the holiday instead of having the day off. So maybe we should get back to the original spirit of the holiday by not working and getting away from the daily grind by disconnecting from electronics while enjoying some of nature’s beauty.
