Managerial class

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Persons of the managerial class are often stated to be more conservative than members in the professional class, reflecting in both their consumer tastes as well as political beliefs.

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, medical and health services managers (excluding physicians), property, real estate, and community association managers, and top executives.^[1] 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 commonly 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.
