This just isn't what the vast majority of people mean when they talk about class. No one uses 'working class' in casual conversation to include doctors, hedge fund analysts and lawyers.
- skohan 6y agoI think even in the UK definition, professionals like doctors and lawyers would be considered middle class.
- Pfhreak 6y agoWorking class folks can also be middle class, they aren't mutually exclusive.
- Pfhreak 6y ago> No one uses 'working class' in casual conversation to include doctors, hedge fund analysts and lawyers. Plenty of folks do. Yes, 'working class' is often synonymous with lower class in the US, but I regularly hear and use working class to mean "the class that is working". Engineers, farmhands, day laborers, doctors, grocery store clerks, analysts -- we all are working for a living, we are all working class.
