You can also hold OPTION (Mac, ALT on PCs?) to duplicate an object when you drag it. Thus, you can simply type the label once, click and drag it with OPTION & SHIFT down and the label will be duplicated and locked on axis during the move. I usually initiate the drag and then cross my eyes for stereo to set the final placement of the text - that way you can make the label pop out in the third dimension if you're wanting to highlight something coming forward in your figure (or vice versa).
