It's often recognized as International Worker's Day, but I don't know of many places where it's a public holiday. Here in the US, Labor Day is celebrated on Sept. 1, explicitly to separate the labor movement from it's radical origins

    Being the US, the vast majority of laborers don't get it off!

    Since I was wrong about actual days off, do you know if the majority of US laborers who are off on Labor day get holiday pay?

    If it was in the doc you linked I didn't see it.

    Edit: I see it and can't wrap my head around 80%+ of laborers getting holiday pay. Does this cover gig workers, waitstsff and other fully tipped positions, etc.?
