Labor Day, which marks the “unofficial” end of summer, occurs annually on the first Monday in September.

Observed for more than a century in the United States, this national holiday “celebrates and honors the greatest worker in the world — the American worker,” according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

The quiz below, from the Ashbrook Center at Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio, provides an opportunity for you to test your knowledge of the American labor movement and the history of Labor Day.

ANSWERS: 1-C, 2-B, 3-D, 4-A, 5-C, 6-D, 7-D, 8-B, 9-A, 10-B
