Societies have classes {strata}|.
types
Social classes can depend on others' opinions {reputational strata}, on people's feelings {subjective strata}, or on occupation, power, income, or education {objective strata}.
occupation
Occupation is typically the best social-class indicator, because occupational status holds throughout society, across all other social-class types. The six main social classes by occupation are upper-upper high-wealth aristocrats; lower-upper high-salary professionals and managers; upper-middle civic leaders, business leaders, and professionals; lower-middle small businesspersons and white-collar workers; upper-lower semiskilled laborers and service workers; and lower-lower unskilled laborers and unemployed people.
