Also, does anyone else find the use of 'middle class' in the US slightly dissonant to how we use the term here?

I presume that in the states it has a more working class (blue collar? I don't really know what that means) connotation, in our way of delineating socio-economic groups?

Out of curiosity, how do you define it? As a Swede I think we have very different definitions of the term

In the UK?

It's tricky because the late c20th upended the traditional deliniations and increased the value of working class.

The shortest version of middle class is being in the professions and owning your home, but having to work for a living.
