Lokvani wishes all its readers a very Happy Labor Day Weekend!

The first Labor Day parade took place in New York City in 1882.
Labor Day was declared a national holiday in 1894 and is observed on the first Monday in September.
The roots of Labor Day grew out of violent clashes between labor and police during the Haymarket Riot in 1886 when thousands of workers in Chicago took to the streets to demand an eight-hour workday.
Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer but worker-related Labor Day parades and festivities are still part of the federal holiday.

Summer is a popular time for teens to get driver's licenses and teen auto accidents cost us around $40.7 billion per year, so the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on the Best & Worst States for Teen Drivers in 2024, as well as expert commentary, to identify where teens can enjoy this rite of passage while remaining as safe as possible.

WalletHub compared the 50 states based on 23 key metrics. The data set ranges from the number of teen driver fatalities to the average cost of car repairs to the presence of impaired-driving laws.
