How do you define working class, middle class (and whether there's lower and upper sections etc.) in your country?

I think this is pretty apt:

The "minimalist" definition of working class I would say is non-supervisory manual workers.

There's a good case for including routine nonmanual (clerical and retail sales), given their pay and lack of power and autonomy.  However sometimes they're excluded on the grounds that they have low levels of class consciousness and have a wide mix in terms of social origins and destinations.

Blue-collar supervisors rarely have college degrees, come from the ranks of workers, often live in working class neighborhoods and socialize with working class friends.  Perhaps they fit in the lower middle class.  The lower middle class according to some definitions sometimes takes in non-professional white collar workers and small proprietors as well

People with a profession and most managers are middle class.
