Explanation:
Key Difference: The way the word is spelled depends on the where and by whom the text was written. British English (the more popular) uses the spelling ‘labour’, while American English did not see the reason for the ‘u’ and use the spelling ‘labor’. Both the words mean the exact same thing.
The terms labor and labour are often confusing for many people that are learning English as a second language. The reason for this confusion stems from the many texts that use the word labor, while others use labour. Neither of the spelling is wrong, both are used appropriately. They can also be easily interchanged without changing the connotation of the sentence.
