What is labor?

Labor is when people use their energy and skills to make things or help others.

Imagine you're helping your mom bake a cake. You mix the ingredients, put the batter in the pan, and turn on the oven. That's labor, it's like the work you do to get something done.

What Labor Looks Like

When you build with blocks, clean your room, or even ride your bike, you're doing labor. It’s not just big things like building houses or running a factory. Little jobs count too!

Why Labor Matters

If everyone did their own little bit of labor, like helping in the kitchen, playing with toys, or tidying up, everything gets done faster and better. It's like how your team works together to win a game, each person does their part so the whole group can succeed.

So, labor is just work that makes life easier for everyone!
