Labor of Love: Thanking Associates for Their Service
For many of us, Labor Day marks the end of summer and a return to more structured routines. Officially and nationally, it’s the federal holiday honoring the social and economic contributions of American workers. The origins of Labor Day date to the late 19th century and unprecedented transformations in business and industry. That era witnessed a surge in railroads, factories, corporations, and agriculture, sparking small-town growth and big-city sprawl. During that period, people from around the world clamored to America’s shores for chances to seize success.
