President Grover Cleveland and the U.S. Congress made Labor Day a national holiday in 1894. A fashion tradition is never to wear white after Labor day. White clothing is usually worn in the summer to keep cool and Labor Day marks the end of summer. New York has the highest union membership rate at 24.7 percent; South Carolina has the lowest rate at 2.1 percent.
In the astronomical calendar, summer begins on the June equinox â the point at which the Northern Hemisphere is tilted closest to the sun and the days are at their longest during the year. The summer solstice falls on June 21 this year, but the date varies from year to year, falling as early as June 20 or as late as 22 June. Since summer (and other seasons) can begin and end on different days each year on the astronomical calendar, it can be hard to compare seasons from year to year in this way. To standardize the length and start of the seasons, in meteorology, the 12 months of the year have been split up into four, 3-month periods. Therefore, in the meteorological calendar, summer includes the months of June, July and August - always starting on 1 June and ending on 31 August.
