"Working class" these days is an obsolescent term, in the West anyway. Have expendable income or not having it, or the old middle-class /working class binary, has been replaced by --have positive credit rating/don't have positive credit rating within a universal data bank linked to landlords, banks, welfare identity, criminal record. Everyone either works or doesn't and can either repay a debt or can't. Its approaching the defining binary categories of employed/criminal, so drop the old Marxist interpretation of privilege and class and get up to date in the 21st Century socio-economic reality mmkay!
