How many days are between Labor Day and New Year's Day?

Q: How many days are between Labor Day and New Year's Day?

117 days. Labor Day falls on Monday, September 6, 2027 and New Year's Day on Saturday, January 1, 2028, which is 117 days later — 16 weeks and 5 days, or 84 business days counting Monday to Friday only. The first day is not counted and the last one is, the same way a calendar counts a stay. One of these two moves around the calendar, so the gap is not the same every year — the table below gives the next five.
