Our country celebrated its first official Labor Day way back in 1894.
Taking place the first Monday in September, it also marks the unofficial end of summer. Officially, the fall season won’t arrive until September 23rd, so we can still enjoy the season for a few more weeks. Keep the grills going 🙂
Sadly, we got a bit of news that should put a damper on things. Today the government announced that our unemployment rate stands at 9.1%, or 14 million people out of work.
