Managerial class

Managerial class

Managerial class is a term applied to individuals who carry great responsibility within the corporate world and who, as the term implies, supervises other mostly white collar employees. Examples of occupations in this class include: financial managers, human resources directors, industrial production managers, some types of lawyers (especially those primarily executing a corporate or managerial function), medical and health services managers (excluding physicians), property, real estate, and community association managers, and top executives.cite web|url=http://www.bls.gov/oco/oco1001.htm|title=US Bureau of Labor list of managerial occupations|accessdate=2006-06-23] In the United States, the term is often applied to those members of the upper middle class who are not classified as professionals. In the US the upper middle class is arguably divided between the rather liberal professional class and the managerial class, which tends to be more conservative in terms of their political beliefs as well as tastes. However, as "professional class" could be considered more of an umbrella term generally describing workers with post-undergraduate degrees employed in specialized fields, the Managerial Class could be considered a discrete subset of professionals.
