Working class in the United States

In the United States, the concept of a working class remains vaguely defined, and classifying people or jobs into this class can be contentious. According to Frank Newport, "for some, working class is a more literal label; namely, an indication that one is working." Economists and pollsters in the United States generally measure the "working class" using college degrees as an indicator, rather than focusing on occupation, income, or asset ownership.
