Social stratification in the United States resembles that in France today, but they differed historically. Public opinion surveys show that Frechmen place themselves in four social classes; Americans only two, the workin class and the middle class. Respondents describe these classes by criteria of achievement; the French bourgeois and peasant classes can be interpreted as based on criteria of ascription. In both societies self-appraisal of position is closely related to occupation, and there are high rates of social mobility
