According to the most recent U.S. Census figures, some 150,000 people work right here in Frederick County and the biggest local employers are government, retail and construction, with each claiming about 10 percent of the workforce.

Many in the county work traditional 9 to 5 hours, but plenty of folks do not. To mark the 125th anniversary of the first Labor Day celebration, The Frederick News-Post assigned 24 reporters one hour each -- from midnight to midnight -- and assigned them to spend that hour with someone at work.

The fruit of that assignment is this multimedia package, Labor Never Sleeps.
