>Based on social anthropology, Warner divided American into three >classes (upper, middle, and lower), then further subdivided each of >these into an "upper" and "lower" segment, with the following postulates:
* Upper-upper class. "Old money." People who have been born into
and raised with wealth.
* Lower-upper class. "New money." Individuals who have become
rich within their own lifetimes.
* Upper-middle class. High-salaried professionals (i.e.,
doctors, lawyers, corporate executives).
* Lower-middle class. Lower-paid professionals, but not manual
laborers (i.e., police officers, non-management office workers, small business owners).
* Upper-lower class. Blue-collar workers and manual laborers.
Also known as the "working class."
* Lower-lower class. The homeless and permanently unemployed,
as well as the "working poor."
PS> This google thingy is GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT if you need quick and dirty PS> information,
as opposed to none, which you seem to prefer (I admit the second time around, I searched by "Goldthorpe" and "upper middle class")
