Are You Middle Class?

Whether you’re middle class depends on who’s asking the question and how. Half of Americans told Gallup pollsters they weren’t. A survey in April 2015 found 51% of Americans identified as middle or upper middle class, down from an average 61% in 2000 through 2008. The rest said they were working or lower class. But most people said they were middle class under a broader definition.
