The article evaluates the book "Working With Class: Social Workers and the Politics of Middle-Class Identity," by Daniel J. Walkowitz. In 1992, as the United States wallowed in recession, U. S. presidential candidate Bill Clinton began to use the term "working middle class" to describe millions of Americans who were being hurt by the restructuring of the American economy. By the middle of the nineties the future of the middle class had become a hot political issue and a labor question. Social workers may be considered the prototype of the double consciousness of the working middle class. Since the turn of the twentieth century, most professionals have worked for salaries, and social workers are no exception.
