Labor Day also symbolically marks the end of summer and the beginning of the school year.\nThis guide is designed to assist congressional offices with work-related Labor Day celebrations. It contains a brief history and selected resources for additional historical and legislative information, CRS reports, sample speeches and recognitions from the legislative branch, presidential proclamations, statistical information on the U.S. labor force, and cultural resources on celebrating the holiday.\nOrigins\nThe first Labor Day celebration in the United States was held on September 5, 1882, in New York City. It was proposed and sponsored by the Central Labor Union Party as a \u201cworkingmen\u2019s holiday.\u201d With the growth of labor organizations throughout the United States, the celebration of Labor Day spread to many industrial centers. Between 1882 and 1894, municipalities and states adopted and enacted ordinances and laws to make Labor Day a holiday.\nLegislation\nOn June 28, 1894, the 53rd Congress passed the bill S.730 designating the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday to celebrate and affirm the contributions and accomplishments of the American work force. Many statutes that concern American labor have been enacted. Some resources on these statutes include\nU.S. Department of Labor, Summary of the Major Laws of the Department of Labor.\nU.S. Department of Labor, Your Rights as a Worker.\nCRS Reports\nThe Congressional Research Service has prepared numerous reports that relate to the American labor force. Some of these include\nCRS Report R42519, Youth and the Labor Force: Background and Trends, by Adrienne L. Fernandes-Alcantara.\nCRS Report R42526, Federal Labor Relations Statutes: An Overview, by Jon O. Shimabukuro and David H. Bradley.\nCRS Report R42758, The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): An Overview, by Sarah A. Donovan.\nCRS Report R43089, The Federal Minimum Wage: In Brief, by David H. Bradley.\nCRS Report R43768, The OSH Act: A Legal Overview, by Rodney M. Perry.\nSample Speeches and Recognitions\nElected officials often deliver speeches, make floor statements, issue press releases, or enter Extensions of Remarks into the Congressional Record to recognize federal holidays and observances. The following are some recent examples:\nU.S. President (Obama), \u201cThis Labor Day, Let\u2019s Talk about the Minimum Wage,\u201d Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents (August 30, 2014). [Click here for White House video.]\nSen. Sherrod Brown, \u201cLabor Day,\u201d remarks in the Senate, Congressional Record, vol. 159 (September 09, 2013), p. S6288-S6289.\nRep. Mike Kelly, \u201cLabor Day Statement\u201d (press release, September 5, 2011).\nPresidential Proclamations and Remarks\nOne of the many uses of a presidential proclamation is to ceremoniously honor a group or call attention to certain issues or events. Some recent Labor Day proclamations, from the Compilation of Presidential Documents, include\nProclamation 9161\u2013Labor Day, 2014.\nProclamation 9012\u2013Labor Day, 2013.\nProclamation 8857\u2013Labor Day, 2012.\nPresidential proclamations and remarks from 1993 to the present are available through the Federal Digital System (FDsys) on the Government Publishing Office website. Earlier remarks (including selected audio and video clips) are available through The American Presidency Program, established by the University of California, Santa Barbara. \nStatistics\nSeveral federal agencies maintain statistics on the American workforce.
