Happy Labor Day!
Labor Day; the unofficial end to summer and vacations. The good news is that it's the official kick off of the football season! Yea! For some, it's back to school month. For those of us in Florida, we prepare for Hurricane season, and for those not in Florida, a nice break from the heat of summer.
Labor Day was originally created to celebrate workers and their achievements, and originated during one of American labor history's most dismal chapters, in the late 1800s, and at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the United States. Things are quite different now as productivity and technology have increased by leaps and bounds. This makes working and investing in American Companies quite attractive.
This year, for my annual charity event, I was
"coerced" into bartending for one of my favorite charities. I thought, "how hard could that job be?". Boy, was I naive. I could not keep up with the demand of all my friends and clients ordering drinks, keeping open tabs, and of course all those "special" orders. It made me love my day job even more.
So, as we close out the summer, and celebrate Labor Day we should be grateful for the jobs we have, no matter what the job might be and the fact that we work in the best country in the world. For my friends and colleagues who are retired, thanks for contributing to improve the Labor Market.
Sincerely,
William "Bill" Cummings, CPA
