The Working Class

The working class refers to a social group predominantly composed of individuals engaged in manual labor or low-wage jobs, often in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and service sectors. They typically rely on hourly wages rather than salaries and may have less job security and fewer benefits compared to higher social classes. The working class has historically played a crucial role in the economy, but they often face challenges such as economic inequality, limited access to education, and social mobility. The term is also associated with shared experiences and a sense of community among those in similar socioeconomic positions.
