Step-by-step explanation:

Upper class : controls a large portion of country's wealth, made up of new and old money

Upper middle : high income business people and professionals, most have college educations and advanced degrees

Lower middle class : white collar jobs (not manual labor), less education required for jobs

Working class : jobs requiring manual labor (factory, tradespeople) blue collar jobs, pink collar jobs have less manual labor and women usually hold them

Working poor : lowest paying job (temporary, seasonal), most depend on government support programs
