Working class is a term used both in academic sociology as well as in ordinary conversation. In common with other terms relevant to social class, it is defined and used in many different ways depending on context and speaker, and incorporates references to education, occupation, culture, and income. When used in a non-academic situation, it typically refers to a section of society dependent on physical labor, especially when remunerated with an hourly wage.
