Welcome! It's September and that means summer is winding down and the school year is ramping up. But that doesn't mean you have to stop having fun! September brings with it many opportunities to go out and explore. There are so many new places to see, so many festivals to attend. Let's start with the great outdoors! If you're looking for a camping adventure, September is the perfect time to head out. Crisp cool nights under the stars are sure to be a memorable experience. Or, if you need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, why not take a hike in one of the national parks? The foliage will surely be beautiful this month.
One national holiday we’d like to showcase this month is Labor Day. The inception of Labor Day can be traced back to concerns among workers about the excessive time they spent on their jobs. During the 1830s, those in the manufacturing sector were clocking in around 70 hours per week on average. Progress was made over the subsequent six decades, with the work hours dropping, although the typical manufacturing employee was still devoting 60 hours weekly to factory tasks by 1890.
If you or a friend are thinking about selling, make sure to choose a real estate company you can trust!
A real estate company with experience, proven results and a give-back philosophy!
These early organizers clearly won since the most recent data show that the average person working in manufacturing is employed for a bit over 40 hours a week and most people work only five days a week.
Surprisingly, many politicians and business owners were in favor of giving workers more time off. That is because workers who had no free time were not able to spend their wages on traveling, entertainment or dining out.
As the U.S. economy expanded beyond farming and basic manufacturing in the late 1800s and early 1900s, it became important for businesses to find consumers interested in buying the products and services being produced in ever greater amounts. Shortening the work week was one way of turning the working class into the consuming class.
