The embourgeoisement thesis was examined in Indianapolis for blue-collar workers in general and skilled blue-collar workers in particular with regard to a wide range of political, social and economic variables. The findings did not support the embourgeoisement thesis and marked blue-collar–white-collar differences were found, especially with regard to economic attitudes and domestic political attitudes and behavior. An analysis of covariance revealed that difference in years of education was most generally responsible for blue-collar–white-collar differences, while difference in occupation, racial composition, and income levels accounted for some of the blue-collar–white-collar differences. Occupation was found to account independently for only a few of the observed attitudinal and behavioral differences between blue-collar and white-collar workers
