Labor Day is held annually on the first Monday in September, to celebrate the social and economic achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, when the average American worked 12-hour days, seven-days a week in unsafe working conditions, just to make a basic living.

The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. Just two years later, President Grover Cleveland signed a law making it a national holiday. Today, Labor Day weekend also symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans and is celebrated across the Nation with family and friends.

On this Labor Day, we celebrate all who work hard every day! We offer our sincere thanks to our staff, our partners, our clients and the many cast and crew members that create art for our entertainment. We thank our first responders and health care workers who continue to heal our nation from the terrible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we thank our essential workers who continue to grow produce, transports good to our cities, prepare food and open grocery stores so we can eat and shop. To all who help make America great – who lead, who nurture, who teach, who feed, who defend and clothe our neighbors in need. Thank you!

Happy Labor Day! Please celebrate safely and stay healthy.
