Question

Phil, a janitor for an expensive apartment-house complex in Chicago, is a union janitor who makes quite a bit more money than many of the tenants in the building he maintains. Lenski would note that Phil's high income but low occupational prestige demonstrates a condition of ________.

Answer 1

status inconsistency

Step-by-step explanation:

Status inconsistency refers to the situation of an individual in which his or her status characteristics show both positive and negative influence. Status inconsistency arises because of many factors which include gender, race, ethnicity, etc. For example, a theater artist gained a high status for his performance but pitied for his little income, which decreases his status. In the above mention question, Phil's position faces a positive status for income but low status for his occupation.
