As a traditional histogram it shows the distribution of a single variable in form of the column chart. In addition to that histogram with labels shows the label of each data point displayed in the column itself so you can see to which histogram bin each data point belongs. As an example a distribution of the employment to population ratio across different countries is plotted. Data source
