More about Labor day 2020

Labor Day is marked as a holiday for the working citizens of America. It is also a back-to-school time for students after the summer break. Every year, parades and events are planned on the day and even throughout the weekend before it. However, this year the celebrations will be a remote affair due to the onset of coronavirus. 

This annual celebration is a result of years of hard work and sacrifice by the American labourers in the late 1800s and early 1900s. According to history.com, Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday of September. This day is celebrated as a result of the labor movement that was carried out in the late 19th Century. The movement was carried out by oppressed workers trying to make their work lives bearable for themselves and their coming generations.
