These days we normally refer to the demographic classifications as shown below:
A = upper middle class e.g. doctor, solicitor, barrister, accountant, company director
B = middle class e.g. teacher, nurse, police officer, probation officer, middle manager
C1 = lower middle class e.g. junior manager, student, clerical/office workers, supervisors
C2 = skilled working class e.g. foreman, agricultural worker, plumber, bricklayer
D = working class e.g. manual workers, shop worker, fisherman, apprentices
E = underclass e.g. casual labourers, state pensioners
The grades are often grouped into ABC1 and C2DE and these are taken to equate to middle class and working class respectively.
