According to an article in the American Psychological Association webpage, the answer is likely ‘yes’.
Originally intended as a day for relaxation and celebration of the American worker, Labor Day today is very different from the first Labor Day in 1882. Back then, a largely industrial and agricultural workforce could disconnect from work on Labor Day without the possibility of being disturbed by work-related cell phone calls, reading e-mails on-the-go or being summoned to rush back to the office. In today’s 24/7 society, work frequently intrudes in to employee’s personal lives during evenings, weekends, vacations and holidays. In fact, 83 percent of email users admit to checking their email daily while on vacation.
Constant work can have an adverse effect on individual’s health:
“While technology has undoubtedly improved our lives in the last 125 years, constant use of technology can add to the stress levels of an already overworked nation” says Dr. Russ Newman of the American Psychological Association.
However you spend your day, please enjoy your Labor Day.
