It might be for you Igoreha but not in Canada and the United States.
Labor Day (Labour Day in Canada) is a day of rest or the last chance for many people to go on trips before the summer ends. In some neighborhoods, people organize firework displays, barbecues, and public arts or sports events. The football season starts on or around Labor Day and many teams play their first game of the year during Labor Day weekend. In Canada and the United States, it is celebrated on the first Monday of September and considered the official end of the summer holiday for most of the respective countries, as public school and university students return to school that week or the following week.

Mike is totally right, my friend, Igoreha.
In the U.S.A., Labor Day has evolved, over time, to mean "Labor Day weekend," i.e., three days of personal leisure time to rest and play, instead of work.
It is the historic nature of the American people/culture to enlarge their liberties where they can, and here (Labor Day weekend) is a great example. ... This is one of the several reasons why so many people from around the world want to move here.
We Americans are a paradox in the sense that we are enabled by our constitution to ever struggle for "a more perfect union," ... and at the same time, to ever struggle to enlarge our experience and legal definitions of liberty/freedom.
