My Labor Day Challenge to You
When you think about Labor Day, you normally think about a glorious day off - one last hurrah before summer truly comes to an end. You think about BBQs, haning out with friends and family, right? I know I do... But have you everstopped to think what Labor Day really is about?
Established in 1882, Labor Day in the U.S. was dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions American workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
The last few years have been rough and the economy has seen its fair share of ups and downs. In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else – even there job. That’s why on this Labor Day, I want to challenge you to “Buy American!” When you go to the store, take the time to check the label and see where its made.
Did you know that buying American-made products can actually be less expensive? Take a look at this example: Often, the store brand of a grocery store is manufactured in the U.S.A. and it is usually less expensive and just as good! So I challenge you - when you go to the store today for a last minute purchase for your BBQ or to hit up some of the sales at a retail store- check the label & look to see where its made. Start reading the labels when you shop for items you use everyday and see what you can find that is made in the USA! The purchase you make today, can effect someone’s job and the job you save may be your own or your neighbor’s!
Have a GREAT Labor Day!
