There was a time where "working class" meant someone who worked a 9-5 manufacturing or plant job and still could afford a tidy house in a middle-class neighborhood, have a wife who didn't need to work, or only worked part-time, and a couple of kids. They could afford a small vacation every couple of years, and kept their kids fed and clothed (though not always name-brand) and the family was proud of what they had and took care of their things and didn't need government assistance to make ends meet, even though there were tough times.
I am in my mid 20s, so I did not live through that era. However, this is exactly what I thought the working class was.

Not so the WWC, which Williams defines as white middle-class people (those in the $41,000 to $132,000 income range) who don’t have a college education.
LOL. Wut?
Among men with no college in the U.S., the 90th percentile makes $80K
The 50th makes 39K
10th Percentile makes 21K

The left calls the welfare class the "working class" and calls the legitimate working class the "middle/upper class". It's all part of their class warfare game plan.

Most of us are working class. It's not just blue collar anymore.

Working class is what the middle class is but won't admit it to make themselves feel better.

That is what some liberal elite in the NY Post defined it as. I define working class 'Muricans that hate gubment handouts.
