That’s not too bad of a definition. (Jokes aside, our main concern w the project is for men without degrees—if you’re a young man who, for whatever reason, can’t do four years of college, where can you find a decent career and wage for yourself?)
I always think of doing something with your hands. As a product of the Steel Valley I think of manufacturing, construction, plumbing, electricians etc…where just about everyone’s father was in those fields.
We generally like work that has an obvious output, even if it’s digging coal or delivering something across country. Though, then again, men also provide orderlies in the healthcare industry, prison guards and psychiatric ‘nurses’. Then stacking shelves, and taking things off board and planes.
I’m educated enough to not do that any more, so am the exception.
Not sure what a "working-class" job is. Doing something useful with your life perhaps?
