Answer:

Not equal in status.

Step-by-step explanation:

Occupational prestige is a way for sociologists to describe the social position people have related to the worthiness of their jobs. The word prestige focused on the value the society gives to a certain occupation, this prestige is independent of the values the person itself holds.

For example, a medic is more respected than an industrial worker no matter the individual's characteristics of each worker.

I hope this answer helps you.
