The United States will mark the Labor Day holiday on Monday, September 5.

The federal holiday is celebrated annually on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement.

Though Monday is the official holiday, Labor Day is generally marked throughout the three-day weekend it falls on. While many enjoy the long weekend that marks the unofficial end of summer, the holiday does involve some major changes to the schedules of some public services.
