Labor Day is a holiday that celebrates and honors the contributions and achievements of workers and the labor movement.

In the United States, it is observed on the first Monday in September and marks the official end of summer.

It originated from the labor movement's efforts to improve working conditions and workers' rights. In many countries, it's a day to recognize and appreciate the role of workers in society and often includes parades, speeches, and other events celebrating labor.

From the team at Bennett Jensen Personal Wealth Advisors, we wish you a safe and happy Labor Day!

It’s back-to-school season—a time for new backpacks, sharpened pencils, fresh starts, and new lessons.

But some of the most important lessons our children and grandchildren will ever learn may never be taught in a classroom.
