Germany not. Software is more on the lower end of high skilled work, definitely not at the top end.

Interesting. Still, am I correct that lower end of high skilled work is still middle-upper class in terms of income?
I find it difficult to find reliable numbers (since I work in a different industry), but it seems median entry salary for IT graduate is 40k€, which is 25k€ nett anually. I also find the middle-upper class difficult for germany (since salary upper class doesnt mean you are asset upperclass aka rich).

Personally I would say 25k€ nett is middle class; but here everybody wants to belong to the middle class so it usually has a wide stretch.

Big companies are unionized so salarys do not get that big, but are considered higher then in non-unionized companies.

How is the situation in the US?
