在美國，勞動(dòng)節所在的那個(gè)周一是公共假日，不過(guò)它的含義遠不止于此，它見(jiàn)證了工人為自己權益奮斗的過(guò)程。今年的勞動(dòng)節很特別，因為成千上萬(wàn)的美國人會(huì )在那天工作。八月的最新失業(yè)數據表明失業(yè)率從9.5%上升到了9.6%。
1. Canadian Origin?
起源于加拿大?
While most Americans likely consider Labor Day a uniquely American experience, but in all reality, Labor Day has its origins in Canada.

As a result, 24 union leaders who were responsible for organizing the event were arrested under anti-union laws.
很多美國人會(huì )認為勞動(dòng)節是美國的傳統節日，但實(shí)際上，勞動(dòng)節起源于加拿大。19世紀70年代在多倫多有很多勞務(wù)糾紛，很多工人被迫長(cháng)時(shí)間工作，1872年，不堪剝削的工人罷工游行，反對一周58小時(shí)的工作時(shí)間。結果，負責組織這次游行的24位帶頭人因違法反法律被抓。

美國的首個(gè)勞動(dòng)節是在1882年的9月5號。當時(shí)，這個(gè)節日是在不計其數的罷工甚至是暴力活動(dòng)后，作為撫恤身心俱疲的工人的一種措施。
4. Always On Monday
節日總是定在周一
Labor Day has been celebrated on the first Monday of September every year since President Grover Cleveland declared that day Labor Day in 1894. The extended weekend helps Americans who choose to travel.
