What sort of employment for the middle classes in Europe

is a slippery term. 1 At least it is in England, the country of Monty Python and Upstairs Downstairs and that is perhaps the most obsessed with class and where people have been very aware of who was upper or lower middle class (most people thought they were themselves middle middle class, but everyone else was upper or lower middle class). In the USA the Middle Class has been split into four: the upper middle class; the lower middle class (in the middle of the middle class) which is itself split into the satisfied middle and the struggling middle; and the working class, also known as the blue collar class or conscious middle. 2
