1. Working class

   The working class (or labouring class) comprises those engaged in waged or salaried labour, especially in manual-labour occupations and industrial work. Working-class occupations (see also "Designation of workers by collar color") include blue-collar jobs, some white-collar jobs, and most pink-collar jobs. Members of the working class rely exclusively upon earnings from wage labour; thus, according to more inclusive definitions, the category can include almost all of the working population of industrialized economies, as well as those employed in the urban areas (cities, towns, villages) of non-industrialized economies or in the rural workforce.

1. working class

   The working class refers to a social group of individuals who predominantly engage in manual labor or industrial work, often working for an hourly or daily wage. This class includes blue-collar workers, individuals with lower levels of education, and those who may not possess significant financial or property assets. Their income majorly depends on their labor rather than investments or ownership assets. This term is often used in the context of a social and economic hierarchy, and can also encompass those in lower-pay white-collar jobs.

1. Working class

   Working class is a term used in the social sciences and in ordinary conversation to describe those employed in lower tier jobs, often extending to those in unemployment or otherwise possessing below-average incomes. Working classes are mainly found in industrialized economies and in urban areas of non-industrialized economies. In Marxist theory and socialist literature, working class is often used synonymously with the term proletariat, and includes all those who expend either mental or physical labor to produce economic value, or wealth in non-academic terms. It thus includes both lower-class workers and middle class workers, including knowledge workers and white collar workers who work for a salary. This definition differs from the non-academic or popular culture conception, because it excludes the extremely poor and unemployed, which are called the lumpenproletariat. As with many terms describing social class, working class is defined and used in many different ways. When used non-academically, it typically refers to a section of society dependent on physical labor, especially when compensated with an hourly wage. Its use in academic discourse is contentious, especially following the decline of manual labor in postindustrial societies.
