The first Labor Day Holiday to celebrate workers was on September 5, 1882 in #NewYorkCity. By 1894, 23 more states adopted the holiday and on June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday to celebrate the American worker. #StarMountainCapital would like to wish everyone a happy and safe #LaborDay as we celebrate the efforts of all American workers and job creation in the #UnitedStates. #LMM #FundManagers #WealthManagers #Secondaries #InvestmentManagement #Mountaineers #LaborDayWeekend2024
