The middle class is made up of managers, supervisors, and directors. Not workers.
EDIT Y’all are downvoting me, but what do you think the “middle” part of “middle class” stands for? They’re the people between the working class and the owning class! That’s what makes them middle class. That was lost over time because class politics are alien in America.
Do you seriously not notice that right there between the upper and lower class are the managers, supervisors, and directors? The middle class are a financial class, but that’s because they’re also a class with a distinct relation to the means of production. The workers are the ones that do the work, the owners are the ones that reap the profits, and the middle class are the ones that control the workers. They’re a special managerial class elevated above workers with special privileges and responsibilities, but they’re also always employees of the actual ruling class.
Then dumbass Americans just smeared everything together and now everyone says they’re middle class, whether they’re poor or rich lol
Literally just the wikipedia page about the middle class lol
Yes, “middle income” is also an accepted definition, but it’s a shitty definition because it doesn’t mean anything! Income is dependent on markets as much as it is on social structures, and the “middleness” of income is as much of a feeling as it is based in literal dollars. That’s why everyone calls themselves middle class regardless of their actual place in the socioeconomic hierarchy.
Hell yeah! Union Strong!
Win back that middle class one fight at a time.

No, you dumbass, middle class is in between the upper and lower class. It’s purely financial.
