Labs are high energy working dogs.

... especially when they're young. Don't know what your situation is, but I found that my lab until age 2 had serious chew problems if I didn't exercise the energy out of her-- twice a day minimum for at least a half hour each of non-stop kong retrieving. These dogs (and G. Shepherds too-- - herding/chase dogs) aren't wired for hanging around ALONE doing nothing, even for short periods of time. I viewed all the destroyed sofa cushions (which I discovered more often than not in the backyard) as a learning experience.
A crate worked wonders by the way. Make sure you never use it as a punishment, or the pup will view it negatively, and you'll never get him/her into it. I hope you'll put up with the inevitable destruction for a little while longer, and in another few months you'll probably have a great companion on your hands.
