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.

Labor Day marks the ceremonial end of summer, but there are still a good few weeks to enjoy the season, even after the three-day weekend ends and schools begin their calendar year. This year, the last day of summer is officially on Sept. 22. The fall equinox arrives Sept. 23 and so does the onset of shorter days in the Northern Hemisphere. Equinox is derived from the Latin words aequus, which means equal, and nox, the word for night.
