How the date of Labor Day is set
Labor Day is the first Monday of September, so it falls between September 1 and 7. It became a US federal holiday in 1894. Canada's Labour Day is the same day.
Most other countries mark International Workers' Day on May 1 instead.
More on how moving holidays are worked out: why holidays like Easter, Diwali and Eid move every year.
Is Labor Day a day off?
It is a federal holiday in the US and a statutory holiday in Canada, giving a three-day weekend that is often seen as the end of summer.
In many US states, the school year starts in the weeks around Labor Day.
Planning around it? The working days in the answer box count Monday to Friday only. Take out any public holidays in between, or use the date calculator to count from another date.

Frequently asked questions
What day of the week is Labor Day 2027?
Labor Day 2027 is on Monday, September 6, 2027. In 2028 it falls on Monday, September 4, 2028.
Why is US Labor Day in September and not May 1?
The September date was already marked by labour unions and several states before it became a federal holiday in 1894, and it stayed apart from the May 1 workers' day used in most other countries.
When is Labour Day in Australia?
It varies by state and territory: for example, the first Monday of October in New South Wales and the second Monday of March in Victoria.
Why does the live clock show one day less than the days count?
The days count is calendar days: tomorrow is 1 day away. The clock counts real time to midnight at the start of Labor Day, so with Labor Day two days away it shows 1 day and some hours. Both are right; they answer slightly different questions.
