Labor Day honors American workers. The long weekend is widely treated as the unofficial end of summer.

Labor Day is one of the eleven legal public holidays in 5 U.S.C. 6103. It is always a Monday, so the Office of Personnel Management lists the day itself as the federal day off.

Also coming up: Memorial Day on Monday, May 31, 2027, the first day of fall on Thursday, September 23, 2027, and Halloween on Saturday, October 31, 2026.

Labor Day is always a Monday, so its date moves within the seven days from September 1 to September 7. From 2027 to 2036 it is earliest on September 1, 2031 and latest on September 6, 2027.

It does not fall on September 7, the latest possible date, until 2037.
