The term "white working class" refers to a demographic group in the United States and other Western countries, primarily consisting of white individuals who typically hold blue-collar jobs. These jobs often include manual labor, manufacturing, and service industry positions, which may require less formal education compared to white-collar professions. This group has historically been associated with industrial regions and has faced economic challenges due to shifts in the job market. In recent years, the white working class has gained attention in political and social discussions, particularly regarding issues like economic inequality, education access, and job security. Many members of this group have expressed concerns about their declining economic status and the impact of globalization and automation on their livelihoods.
