Labor Day is celebrated annually on the first Monday of September and is one of the major federal holidays in the United States. While government offices, banks and the U.S. stock market will close for the holiday, most retailers, grocery stores and restaurants are expected to remain open, although holiday hours can vary by location.
The long weekend is also one of the busiest travel periods of the year, with millions of Americans expected to hit the roads and take to the skies for one of the last major getaways of summer.
