"Middle Class."

People will accept the name of "middle class." They won't except "working class." That is a Euro nomenclature, and is resented here. The left here loves to use the "class" systems politically, and they hurt themselves when they do. It is OK to say that you are a "blue collar."

You don't see any German working class going back to school in their middle age and getting Masters. It happens here all the time. That kind of upward mobility is unknown in Europe.
