In one format for describing socio-economic groupings, skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled working class people would be classified as:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

This is a broad group of people deriving income from employment, including some skilled people through to unskilled.

A, B and C1 would be those people often referred to as upper middle class or upper class; whereas E would describe a broad group of the poor, the unemployed, etc.

These are rough generalisations regarding people's likelihood of income, taste, lifestyle, etc. To take an extreme example, there is probably not much point in trying to market Dom Perignon (an expen-sive brand of champagne) to the E group. But the E group might welcome promotion of a low-cost brand of tobacco or cigarettes.

I agree with Lenora, I think C1 is the most accurate classification for skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled working class people.

That's a valid point, but I think C1 fits better because of their economic status.

I see your point, but I still think C2 makes more sense based on their skill levels.

I'm not sure, but I think they might actually be classified as D.
