Labor Day 2028 is still ahead. It falls on Monday, 4 September 2028, 738 days after 28 August 2026. This page is kept whichever side of today the date falls on: the date and the rule behind it are worth looking up either way. For the year after this one see Labor Day 2029, and for the always-current countdown see the next Labor Day.
Labor Day 2028 is Monday, 4 September 2028
There are 738 days between 28 August 2026 and Labor Day 2028, which falls on Monday, 4 September 2028. That is 105 weeks and 3 days, or 503 working days once Saturdays, Sundays and the US federal holidays in between are taken out — the figure that matters if you are counting delivery lead time or a work schedule rather than sleeps. The date is 2028-09-04 in ISO form and 9/4/2028 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 36 of 2028, and it is day 248 of 366.
How the date of Labor Day is decided
The first Monday in September, so it falls between 1 and 7 September.
That makes it a floating date: it is pinned to a weekday rather than to a day number, so it is always a Monday but the date moves. In 2028 that is 4 September.
Labor Day is one of the eleven US federal holidays. Federal offices, banks and the bond market close, and it does not count as a business day in any of the business-day calculators on this site. Because the rule always puts it on a Monday, it can never land at a weekend, so it never needs an observed-date shift. The observed date is the one our business days calculator skips.
