Wishing all the Bosses out there a Happy Bosss Day! National Boss Day is on Wednesday, October 16, 2013. Bosss Day is a secular holiday celebrated on October 16 in the United States and Canada. It has traditionally been a day for employees to thank their bosses for being kind and fair throughout the year. Patricia Bays Haroski registered National Boss Day with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1958. She was working as a secretary for State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois, at the time and chose October 16, which was her fathers birthday. She was working for her father at the time. Four years later, in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner backed Haroskis registration and officially proclaimed the day. Hallmark Cards did not offer a Boss Day card for sale until 1979. It increased the size of its National Boss Day line by 28 percent in 2007. National Bosss Day has become an international celebration in recent years and now is observed in countries such as Australia, India, South Africa, Ireland, and Egypt.
