    Labor Day is celebrated May 1st worldwide

    No, it isn’t. Here the 1st of May is a celebration of spring and fertility. Not a celebration of something that happened elsewhere.

      No, it isn’t.

      Yes, it is. “Worldwide” doesn’t mean every single country acting in uniformity.

      Here’s a map showing how absolutely worldwide celebration of International Workers Day actually is.

  • It was also selected because it’s a better break. In the US you usually get easter off in April and memorial day off in late May, so there’s already a decent amount of spring holidays.

    Whereas there’s nothing between 4th of July and Thanksgiving in late november, so labor day is a good break to split up that long stretch.
