On Monday, Sept. 7, Americans across the country will celebrate Labor Day at the end of a long weekend. The day commemorates the labor movement in the U.S. and the many contributions of the nation's workers, but if you plan to do any domestic stock trading, you may want to do that Friday.
Labor Day is a federal holiday, and federal, state, and local government offices will be closed. So will the post office, banks... and the stock market.
Here's what to know about the holiday schedule and when the markets will reopen.
