The Changing Middle Class
The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation. However,middle class is not a real designation,nor does it carry privileges(特权). It is more of a perception,which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War II.

Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They may have started out poor,but they could become rich. Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility. In other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.

News & World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet . Both spouses now worked, as did some of the children; long commutes became routine; the need for child care put strains on the family; and public schools were not as good as they once were. Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.
The 1994 survey showed most Americans thought the middle class
