The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point on Wednesday, bringing its target range to 3.75% to 4%. The decision came less than two weeks after an August jobs report showed 162,000 new payroll jobs and an unemployment rate holding at 4.1%.

Labor Day is often treated as the unofficial conclusion of summer, but its meaning reaches far beyond a three-day weekend.
