More than 100 years ago when Labor Day was first created, it was built on the idea that this day would recognize and honor America’s workforce. Today, however, according to a recent Glassdoor survey, more Americans (59%) believe it symbolizes the end of summer, a day off (47%), and a time to be with family and friends (43%) rather than a celebration of American workers (41%). One in 10 thinks the holiday means nothing at all. And nearly one in five says it means the start of football season.
