The Lower Class and the Underclass
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The lower class holds unstable, low-paid work or none; the underclass names those durably excluded from regular employment across long periods.
Show
Exclusion compounds, because gaps in work history become the reason for later refusals.
Watch for
"Underclass" is a contested term that some sociologists reject as blaming those it describes.
