Happy Labor Day 2022 Wishes, Messages and Greetings

March 29, 2024

Labor Day falls on September 5 this year, paying tribute to the efforts of American workers and their fight for better pay, standards and conditions.

Since June 1894, the first Monday of each September has been taken as a federal holiday, recognizing workers' rights and the hard work people contribute. It is the last holiday before the fall and people often celebrate with parades, parties and picnics.

There isn't a traditional greeting for this federal holiday, but there are many different ways to mark the occasion.

If you want to send a loved one or colleagues a message, here are some ideas from others that you could use:

Expressing Gratitude

"As far as I know, there's not a popular greeting, nothing equivalent on Labor Day to 'Merry Christmas' or 'Will you be my Valentine?' There's no traditional catchphrase. But I think it'd be great to create one," Esquire journalist and author AJ Jacobs told Newsweek.

"Maybe we should play up the idea of gratitude. Like 'Have a grateful Labor Day.' Or else recognize one of the heroes of labor, like Frances Perkins. Perkins was U.S. Secretary of Labor in the 1930s, who was crucial in creating the weekend."

"The weekend didn't just happen. Perkins and others fought for it. She was a major force behind the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act, which established a 40-hour work week and made weekends possible (and helped ban child labor and improve workplace safety) Thank you Secretary Perkins!!!"
