Happy Labor Day,

Here are 7 Interesting Facts About Labor Day That Will Surprise You

  • The first Labor Day occurred on September 5, 1882 in New York City.
  • Oregon was the first state to make Labor Day an official holiday in 1887.
  • The holiday’s origins stem back to the 1800s when the average American worked 12-hours a day, 7-days a week. Children ages 5-6 worked in factories and mines.
  • People avoided wearing white clothing after Labor Day as it unofficially marked the end of summer.
  • Labor Day began in Toronto, Canada in 1872 but quickly made its way to the United States.
  • Labor Day began as a demonstration for workers rights but is modernly seen as an opportunity to celebrate the last day of summer.
  • In other countries, May 1st (May Day) is the day working people are honored. The majority of Europe celebrates May Day.

It illustrates through case studies how providers in two communities created networks and partnerships to improve the efficiency of care, optimize resources, and improve the lives of their residents.
