Celebrate This Labor Day, And Thank A Techie (From RealClearMarkets)

This year America should celebrate Labor Day with reckless abandon.

While it is always appropriate to honor workers’ many contributions to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being, it is imperative now. All honest work deserves recognition and respect. Yet, America’s work ethic is under assault and ridicule on multiple fronts, with a growing number of politicians and academics aligning with old-fashioned hedonists. 

America’s tech sector, which has powered jobs and opportunities for tens of millions of Americans, is also under relentless attack. This is happening even though the tech sector has played a foundational role in keeping the U.S. strong and well-positioned for a bright future amid formidable challenges. And it was critical to helping the country get through the pandemic.
