In many countries across the world, May 1 is celebrated as International Workers’ Day. The U.S. does not celebrate that holiday. Instead, the U.S. has a full week, May 1 through May 7, designated as Public Service Recognition Week. Public servants deserve appreciation:
Whether at the federal, state, county or local level, public employees throughout the nation provide essential services, solve and prevent serious problems, help ensure our safety and advance the common good. During Public Service Recognition Week, the first week of May, we hope you will join our effort to honor public servants at all levels of government for the work they do to make our country a better place.
Without public servants, private enterprise would be nasty, brutish, and short. Thank a public servant today!
