Sarah Jaffe: No one wants to admit they're rich or poor. Everyone wants to think of themselves as middle class'

Jaffe argues that the evolving working class is primarily composed of immigrant caregivers who are often exploited, challenging traditional notions of labor and class.

In her view, politicians often manipulate the concept of the working class to secure votes, as everyone prefers to identify as middle class rather than poor.

She explains that the concept of a white working class has been romanticized, drawing on historical narratives that overlook the complexities of contemporary labor.

Jaffe believes that the idea of 'work as love' is a harmful fiction that distracts from the need for real labor rights and equitable conditions.
