10 Letterboard Quotes to Celebrate Your Hard Work on Labor Day

Labor Day is celebrated in many countries across the world, on all different days but all for the same reason: to acknowledge the hard work we do and to take a break from our daily labor. We all work hard for our freedoms and comforts, so Labor Day is a necessary reminder that it’s OK to take a break and enjoy the fruits of those labors… by doing nothing.

Jokes aside, we really do think it’s great to have a day that acknowledges the effort we all put in. We see all of you, hustling hard in your jobs, taking care of your kids, showing up for friends, paying bills, and juggling all the responsibilities that come with regular life as an adult. It takes a lot of energy to be a person and we think we all deserve a day that celebrates that. Plus, we really could use the day off of work to relax and rejuvenate! In fact, we wouldn’t mind if Labor Day got extended into Labor Week… Anyone else with us?

Another thing we love about Labor Day? Labor Day sales! Labor Day is to Summer what Black Friday is to Winter.
