This article exploring the economic frustrations of college-educated Americans is well worth your time. The author doesn’t say it, but what they’re describing is growing class consciousness among educated sections of the working class.

Class is determined by a persons’ relationship to their workplace. If you don’t control your workplace, you’re working class, regardless of your salary or culture. The problems that impact college educated workers are the same as those impacting uneducated workers.

The sooner every worker sees they’re all on the same team, the sooner we can change things for the better.
