                Proclamation 11060 of September 4, 2026

                
Labor Day, 2026

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                This Labor Day, we recognize the hard work, dedication, 
                and unwavering commitment of the American worker. Their 
                inspiring skill and unbreakable spirit have propelled 
                our country forward for generations. Their strength 
                built our cities, their genius launched and sustained 
                our most advanced industries, and their ingenuity 
                carried American craftsmanship to every corner of the 
                globe. Time and again, their resilience has seen our 
                people through hardship and has consistently brought us 
                to even greater heights of wealth and prosperity. The 
                American worker deserves a Government that is 
                determined to fight for them, as they have fought for 
                us for generations, and we are delivering.

                Since returning to office, my Administration has 
                remained steadfast in its mission to empower the 
                American worker and families by strengthening the 
                economy, bolstering manufacturing, and unleashing 
                innovation like never before. Last year, I proudly 
                signed the Working Families Tax Cuts Act into law, 
                making the largest tax cuts in American history 
                permanent and boosting take-home pay for millions of 
                hardworking families across our Nation. The law also 
                makes the small business tax deduction permanent, 
                allowing small business owners to deduct 20 percent of 
                their qualified business income.

                After decades of disastrous trade policies that 
                surrendered our industrial strength to foreign nations, 
                companies are now returning home, investing trillions 
                of dollars into the United States economy, and adding 
                over 900,000 American jobs. Thanks to my protective 
                tariffs, our Nation's workers are being shielded from 
                unfair foreign competition, ensuring that their labor 
                is honored, their businesses are defended, and their 
                jobs remain on American soil. Through landmark trade 
                deals, American manufacturing has expanded for 6 months 
                straight, and more auto plants are being built in 
                America today than ever before. To ensure we are hiring 
                and training American workers, we are proposing a new 
                fee on H-1B visa petitions that will encourage 
                companies to invest in qualified Americans before 
                looking overseas for labor.

                Our Nation is entering a bold new era of American 
                manufacturing, technological innovation, and economic 
                prosperity--powered by the might of the American 
                worker. Today and every day, we commit to ensuring 
                their hard work remains the driving force behind our 
                Nation's strength and prosperity and the foundation for 
                an even greater future.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim September 7, 2026, as 
                Labor Day. I call upon all public officials and people 
                of the United States to observe this day with 
                appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that 
                honor the contributions and resilience of working 
                Americans.

                United States of America the two hundred and fifty-
                first.
