Pierre,
Labor Day is a national holiday in the US to celebrate working Americans. It traditionally marks the end of the summer, just as Memorial Day--late in May-- (remembering all those who died in the service of our country) marks the start of summer.
Quoting from the department of Labor website http://www.dol.gov/opa/aboutdol/laborday.htm :
"Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country."
There's lots more information on how Labor Day came about at the above URL if you are interested.
