The last weekend of summer doesn't have to be sad when you have Labor Day memes like these
Labor Day memes take the edge off the end of summer
Labor Day weekend can feel bittersweet. On the one hand, you get a fun long weekend with family and friends, maybe at the beach or at a barbecue. On the other hand, Labor Day marks the unofficial close of summer. School goes into full swing for the kids, work kicks up a notch for the remaining few months of the year and the weather starts cooling down. Since this is a weekend of “lasts” for the year, it’s important to make the most of it. And one of the best ways to do that is by tickling your funny bone with hilarious Labor Day memes.
These Labor Day memes have you covered with jokes about everything from time off work to wearing white after Labor Day. The whole crew will find these memes hilarious, and they’ll hopefully add some lighthearted humor to the final days of summer.
So read on for the best Labor Day memes to celebrate the long weekend with humor.
