Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) released the following statement on Labor Day, which falls on Monday, September 5:

"On Labor Day, we honor hard-working men and women who provide for their families and keep America strong. By doing this, we're celebrating the American dream - the promise that anyone can make it in America. In recent years, though, many Americans have lost their jobs and are struggling to achieve their own dreams. On this Labor Day, let us honor those who work hard every day, and also those who want to work hard but have been unable to find a job due to the recession. These are the Americans I will be thinking of this Labor Day."
