Is the stock market closed on Labor Day? What investors should know.

Stock markerts will be closed on Monday, Sept. 7 due to Labor Day.

Labor Day is a federal holiday celebrating the accomplishments and achievements of American workers, according to the Department of Labor.

Labor Day was signed into law as an official federal holiday by President Grover Cleveland in 1894 after years of it being celebrated as a local and state holiday.

“It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom, and leadership – the American worker,” the Department of Labor website said.
