Labor Day

Today is Labor Day, the day we celebrate the many works done by organised labor, from the great construction projects of our day, to the people who clean the floors in the offices, to the people who work at the grocery stores.

Most people either get Labor Day off as a paid holiday or are compensated extra for working on Labor Day. Regardless, it’s a day to celebrate their labor and to celebrate ours. We all do productive things to make our world a better place, even if we can’t always see the important role of our own person actions in the grand scheme of things.
