Labor Day

May 1 - May 5

In 2024, Labor Day is May 1, and the holiday is May 1-5, a total of five days.

April 28 is an additional workday before the 2024 Labor Day holiday, albeit a Sunday.

May 11 is an additional workday after the 2024 Labor Day holiday, albeit a Saturday.

Labor Day is a holiday celebrating workers' rights and the value of labor in many countries and regions around the world.

The holiday originated on May 1, 1886, when workers in Chicago, US, staged a massive strike and demonstration demanding an eight-hour workday.

The movement quickly spread around the globe and became an international symbol of the working class' struggle for rights and interests.

In China, Labor Day is a legal public holiday, usually connected to a weekend to create a several-day holiday.

The holiday provides workers with opportunities for rest and recreation, as well as a time for family reunions, travel and tourism.
