What is Labor Day Any Way?
Q: What do you think of when we say its Labor Day?
The Industrial Revolution
 In the late 1800s America was in the
full swing of the industrial revolution
 Instead of working on farms many
people, including children, now worked
in factories and mills
 The working conditions were often
dangerous and the pay was low.
 The average American worked 12 hours
a day 7 days a week to make a living
http://www.history.com/topics/holidays/labor-day
http://teensunitedma.weebly.com/history-of-child-labor.html
How Many Hours?
12 hours x 7 days
= 84 hours per week!
How long do we spend at school each
week?
7 hours x 5 days
= 35 hours per week
In the late 1800s the average American
was working more than twice as many
hours as we spend in school each week.
The First Labor Day
 People were unhappy with long working
hours, low pay, child labor and unsafe
working conditions.
 Workers went on strike and organized
rallies to protest and force employers to
change.
 The Central Labor Union organized the
first Labor Day Parade and 10,000 workers
took unpaid time off to march in New
York in 1882.
 The idea spread and the following year
Labor Day was celebrated with parades in
many cities across America.
 President Grover Cleveland officially
adopted the first Monday in September as
a holiday in 1894. http://activerain.com/blogsview/2489311/the-origins-of-labor-day
Labor Day
 It took many peoples voices to
improve wages and working
conditions for the average
American.
 Labor day celebrates their
achievement and the contribution
workers make to Americas
prosperity.
 Today Labor Day is celebrated with
parades, BBQs and speeches.
 What are you doing for Labor Day?
Todays average work week
8 hours x 5 days
= 40 hours per week
Compared with 84 hours per week in the late 1800s
84  40
= 44 hours
Thats 44 hours less per week!
