7 Labor Day Websites

labor dayMonday, September 2nd, is America’s Labor Day. It was originally organized to celebrate labor association strengths and contributions to the United States economy. Now, it has become a day of rest, the traditional end of the summer, and a last chance to make trips or hold outdoor events.

Here are some wonderful websites that will generate organic conversations about The Day:

  1. Child Labor
  2. Cybraryman’s Labor Day page--comprehensive as is his way
  3. Labor Day activities, games, drawings for kids
  4. Labor Day infographic
  5. Ten Labor Day Facts (from Forbes)
  6. Today in History (Labor Day)–from Library of Congress
  7. Why do we celebrate Labor Day (from How Stuff Works)

BTW, I tried to keep politics out of this list, though Labor Day is fraught with it.
