As was discussed on a previous post, the top 10% by wealth is a far more interesting definition.
If you have a 40-hour earned income job you are almost certainly not upper class.
- heavenlyblue 7y agoStatistically 90-th percentile is more interesting. Practically calling 90-th percentile the "upper class" is whitewashing the extreme difference between the lifestyle historically associated with the upper class and the middle class.
- esotericn 7y agoAgreed. It strikes me that people like to deny the fact that the upper class is actually a very small group indeed. It's not about just having a slightly bigger house or car or whatever, the entire lifestyle is fundamentally different.
