There are many contrasts between middle-and working-class membership in the United States. The middle class often earns income sufficient to permit savings and has both advanced education and marketable skills. Its members have what is called a conceptual orientation, using their mental capacities to solve problems, and their jobs often involve the manipulation of symbols rather than objects. Their working-life focus is on occupational advancement and competent performance, and their jobs are often quite specialized and responsible. Members of the working class, on the other hand, typically have more serious financial concerns and not enough salary to permit savings. They are more likely to have on-the-job training than a formal education. Their orientation toward life is considered to be motoric, in that they manipulate objects rather than symbols. __________ list __________ time order __________ cause/effect __________ comparison/contrast __________ definition
