middle class

Those members of society who earn their living by nonmanual labour. Their income is usually higher than that of the working class in recognition of greater skills. The subdivisions upper middle class and lower middle class refer respectively to the more skilled professions (doctors, lawyers, and so on) and white-collar workers (lower management, shopkeepers, and so on).

Karl Marx used the term bourgeoisie to refer to the capitalist class who do not live by the sale of their labour.
