Statement from State Treasurer Clint Zweifel on the Labor Day Holiday

JEFFERSON CITY - State Treasurer Clint Zweifel released the following statement today in advance of Labor Day.

Labor Day has special meaning to my family as we celebrate and recognize the achievements and progress of working families in this country. The labor movement helped my parents make investments in me as a child that provided a foundation for future successes. In fact, those investments made it possible for me to be the first person in my family to go to and graduate from college. Stories like this are common in working families throughout the country, and Labor Day is an important time to recognize those stories and the achievements of working families.
