Are You One of Those People Who Will be Laboring on Labor Day?

It's a holiday to recognize working people by giving them a day off, yet there are still people who have to clock in today. Are you one of them?

Today, Americans will celebrate Labor Day, a federal holiday that started in the late 19th century with protests by union workers.

It’s also a day in which its significance has changed over the years, as noted by businessdailynews.com, which explained how many Americans think of it as an official end to summer rather than a holiday for workers.

And, while office staff, corporate employees and government workers all get the day off, there still are thousands of Americans who will clock in.
