Them And Us...?! - BIAD - 01-26-2017
Here's something I think everybody from working-class (Blue-Collar) backgrounds
already knew in their hearts. Especially in the UK.
Social mobility: Class pay gap found in UK professions.
'UK professionals from working-class backgrounds are paid £6,800 [$8,568.68] less
on average each year than those from more affluent families, a study has found.
The class pay gap was highest in finance at £13,713, the research by the Social
Mobility Commission concluded.
The medical profession saw the next highest gap at £10,218, followed by information
technology at £4,736.
Commission chairman Alan Milburn said the 17% average pay gap showed the UK
remained a "deeply elitist" society.
The research, carried out by academics from the London School of Economics and
University College London, analysed data from the UK labour force survey - a snapshot
of employment in the UK with more than 90,000 respondents.
The researchers examined the average earnings of people in professional jobs from
different backgrounds and found those who had come from a poorer family lost out by
about £6,800 a year.
It found the gap was partly caused by differences in educational background, along
with the tendency of middle-class professionals to work in bigger firms and move to
London for work.
But even when professionals had the same educational attainment, role and experience,
those from poorer families were paid an average of £2,242 [$2,825.14] less, the Social
Mobility Commission's study found.
The report suggested professionals from poorer backgrounds might be less likely
to ask for pay rises and could exclude themselves from promotion for fear of not
"fitting in"...'

Really, That is just Terrible.
How does someone that is new to being Very Well Educated and Smart Ever Get Recognized. Do they have to perform sex acts? Yes I serious!
That's just not right.
I guess it's still not something my culture and the way I was raised in China could not accept.

2016 was a class war and with the simple arithmetic that the rich are the few and the poor
are the many, we just managed to give the 'Oh-I'm-so-better-than-you' a bloody nose!
Many working class people believe a certain rationalistic ethic -up to a point.
You're encouraged to be pleasant, nice to those around you and 'extra'-compliant to your
superiors in employment if you wish to progress. Yer' know... don't make waves, be a good
little ant and do as you're told.
This attitude can also be viewed as weak.
If a person who is already wealthy enough that the employment is not a main factor to function
daily, then there's no need to place oneself in a manner that implies 'lesser' than a superior.
And since the idea of being superior is just a socially-constructed weapon to maintain and improve
one's lifestyle, a person coming from a rich background will be used to having it and not feel the
need to use the fawning that a submissive employee -who needs the income, would use.
Bottom-line, the wealthy ignore the tools of servility because they have less to lose.
It's been drummed into the working-class for years, know your place and be happy with what
the rich give you.
