<h3>What is the Working class?</h3>
The working class (or laboring class) is made up of people who work in manual labor or industrial work and are paid through waged or salaried contracts.
Working-class occupations include blue-collar and most pink-collar jobs (see also "Designation of workers by collar color").
Members of the working class rely solely on wage labor earnings; thus, more inclusive definitions include almost all of the working age population of industrial nations, as well as those employed in non-industrialized economies' urban areas (cities, towns, villages) or in the rural workforce.
Lower-level offenders are more likely than higher-level offenders to be prosecuted.
Therefore, lower-level offenders are more likely to be prosecuted than higher-level offenders.
