How are classes divided in Britain?
On February 1, the National Bureau of Statistics of the United Kingdom announced a new social class division system. Basically, it can be divided into three categories: bosses and operators, self-employed and employees. According to the new social class division system, the social status of many aristocratic landlords in Britain has fallen behind that of secretaries and football players. The top of society includes presidents and managers of large companies, banks and important organizations, police, officers and senior civil servants, followed by doctors, lawyers, clergy, teachers, engineers, pilots, librarians and social workers. The second layer of society is nurses, midwives, journalists, musicians, actors, policemen and managers of small companies. The third level of society is general staff, secretaries, computer operators, flight attendants, driving school teachers, football players and telephone operators. The fourth layer of society is tavern and inn owners, farmers, taxi drivers and house decorators. The fifth floor includes train drivers, butchers, plumbers and craftsmen. The sixth social stratum includes shop assistants, assembly line workers, nurses, chefs and hairdressers. On the seventh floor are cleaners, restaurant waiters, construction workers, postmen and dockers. The people at the bottom of society include the chronically ill and the long-term unemployed.
