Labor Day: Today is the day that working people are honored in the U.S. It signifies the end of summer for many people. In an interesting twist, a similar holiday celebrated in the United Kingdom is celebrated in May — and called May Day.

The labor force in the U.S. as of July 2019 was 160 million people.

Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894, signed into law by President Grover Cleveland and approved by the U.S. Congress. The state of Oregon, meanwhile, was the first state to have a Labor Day holiday, which they celebrated in 1887.

Labor Day is also one of the three holidays considered most dangerous in terms of automobile accidents. When combined with Thanksgiving Day and Independence Day, the average loss of life is over 500 Americans each year.

Motorists are advised to use caution while traveling, avoid drinking and driving and avoid texting while driving in order to make it safely to your destination.

Bison Ten Yell Day: Today is also Bison Ten Yell Day. If you are picturing a large, horned beast and thinking today’s a good day to watch old westerns, that isn’t quite where we are going with this.

Today is the day to celebrate the 200th anniversary — the bicentennial — of any imaginary character or happy event that you so choose.

The reason today is the day to celebrate is unknown. However, since it is Labor Day as well, that is as good a reason as any to throw a party and celebrate.

Tomorrow is Skyscraper Day. Take a trip to find the tallest building you can and take the elevator to the top. Make sure to take note of the architectural features of the building and recognize the great minds that brought these buildings into existence.
