The actual numbers are surprising though.
1. Most of the decrease in the middle class was driven by MC people moving to the upper class
So
2. The ratio of lower class to upper class is actually lower than in the 70s.
Interesting point I never considered. Is the cut off for UC really just 1 million dollars in net worth? Seems implausible given house prices in places like California. Is essentially every home owner UC?
