On September 5, 1882, the first Labor Day parade was held in New York City with 20,000 workers marching up Broadway. Within the next few years, the idea spread from coast to coast, and all states celebrated Labor Day. Then in 1894, Congress voted it a Federal Holiday. Today, Labor Day is often seen as the end of summer. Many people try to get in one last summer vacation during this holiday, causing major traffic jams around the country. This year, it is estimated that 50.7 million Americans will be traveling over 50 miles from home by motor vehicle during the holiday weekend, with 59% of these travelers originating from the Southeast, Midwest and Northeast regions.
