Following a drop in sales around the time of Memorial Day back in May, I made a mental note to avoid uploading to Shutterstock during holiday weeks; I recall that my uploads during the weeks of Memorial Day and Independence Day tended to 'get lost' and not derive the intial sales usually expected.

Labor Day falls on Monday Sept 3rd.  Presumably there will be many peeps in the US who will take the whole week off as their last chance of summer hols.  But this is only a guess on my part.

To our US friends out there: what is your view of the Labor Day week please?  Do most people take the week off?

I would say it is very similar to Memorial Day in terms of people taking the whole week off.

I'll be glad when all this holiday nonsense is behind us and people get to work!

School starts a few weeks prior to Labor Day in most states, and those with families have already taken their allotted vacation time by Labor Day rolls around. School starts immediately after Labor Day here in Canada.

Thanks for all the comments.  Alexa charts for last year show a dip in early Sept for both SS and IS, but that might represent the week before Labor Day.

Nonetheless I think I'll store up my usual uploads and commence again once Labor Day has passed.

Oh - SS was a BDE for me today.  Nice to see in the summer.

after labor day weekend more schools in the northeast start..... that is grade schools- they generally start on the wednesday after memorial day. This sort of signifies the end of summer for most people, the idea of back to work. I expect that right after wednesday - sept 5- DL's will start to really pick up.
