My fellow Alabamians, this Labor Day we are pausing to honor the men and women who keep our state moving – our hardworking Alabama workforce.
Here in Alabama, we know a thing or two about hard work:
We rise early. We stay the course. And we never shy away from rolling up our sleeves to get-the-job-done.
I’m proud that our state is leading the way. We’re building strong families, increasing Alabama-made jobs and opening doors from the classroom straight into a good-paying career.
Because when opportunity meets hard work, Alabama rises.
Whether it’s steel, aerospace, farming or freight – when it’s Made in Alabama; it’s made right.
And today, we recognize the hands that build, grow, teach and serve – the very hands that keep our state strong.
Happy Labor Day, Alabama. Thank YOU for your hard work.
