TRUE. According to Britannica, astronomical summer lasts from the date of the summer solstice until the autumnal equinox, which occurs in the Northern Hemisphere on September 22 or 23. So it's true that Labor Day does not mark the end of summer and there's still a few weeks left until autumn is here.
