Labor day is a good day for a trip to the beach for me. But it’s a good time to also reflect on how America has changed over the years to provide benefits and better working conditions for its workers. I’m living in a third world country now, and one really gets to see the differences.
So much different if you’re living in the third world country. Labour day is also a better option for workers to really go out and involve with some other recreational activities, and just have fun after all it’s a work free day. Thanks for dropping by Grayspirit.
