Interesting, very interesting indeed.

My image of each social class,

The upper class or capitalist are the ones who control the means of production. They usually have education from the most prestigious universities and they have jobs as top executives and theyfre heirs.

The upper middle class are folks who have very decent careers and have college education (postgraduate degrees and higher). I would agree that these folks are more cultured and are professionals. Theyfre also more likely to belong to some kind social club.

Itfs strange to see how social class is divided here in the US, especially when you get down to the middle class area in particular.

Now itfs the lower middle class, the working class, the working poor and the underclass.

The middle class are people with low management jobs and have some kind of college education. (Probably just a bachelorfs degree or associates). But people of this class live comfortably.

The lower middle class are people with jobs such as teachers, nurses, office workers, etc.

Then therefs the working class, they consider themselves having greal jobs.h Ifm assuming this means taxi drivers, construction workers, clerical workers, etc.

The working poor, well thatfs pretty self-explanatory. They work full-time and theyfre still poor. These people live on minimum wage, but still have a difficult time making ends meet. An example of a working poor person is someone who works at a fast food restaurant or perhaps someone who busts tables for a living. The most education they may have doesnft go beyond high school.

The lower class or the underclass are the people that are criminals, they have no education due to dropping out of high school. I would agree that most of the people in this category donft have the opportunity to find a stable job. And I would include panhandlers in this category as well.
