The middle class consists of office workers, skilled and unskilled craftspeople, farm employees, and underemployed or low-income families who depend on regular paychecks. Social stratification involves sorting people into distinct social groups or layers based on characteristics like occupation, income, wealth, and status, without ranking the groups. A closed-class system means individuals can change their social class within a society.
