“More Americans — including growing numbers of young people and whites — see themselves as members of the lower classes, according to a study released Monday. At 32 percent, about a third of adults consider themselves part of society’s disadvantaged sectors, up from a quarter four years ago, according to a national survey carried out by the Pew Research Center. Thirty-nine percent of young adults aged between 18 and 29 say they are on the lower rungs of the social ladder, an increase of 14 points over 2008.”
