AAA: Less Travel For Labor Day
Americans are less likely to travel for Labor Day this year than last, according to an AAA forecast.
AAA says 31.5 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles during the holiday weekend, down 2.4 percent from last year. The organization says more people will be driving, but fewer will fly.
The group attributes the change to rising air fares and general economic uncertainty.
Gasoline prices should have less impact on travel than they did on the Memorial Day and July Fourth weekends this year since prices have fallen from a high point in May, AAA said.
