Labor Day, which dates back to the labor movement of the 19th century, honors the achievements of workers in the United States.
Of course, not everyone will have the holiday off from work — which means you may be wondering which grocery stores and retailers are open, whether you’ll be getting mail as normal, and if you’ll be dropping your kids off at school.
