Euroscepticism is associated with a new cleavage between the 'losers' and the 'winners' of globalisation. Current research also indicates that right-wing extremist, racist, and anti-democratic attitudes are more prevalent in lower status groups, particularly those struggling with societal change. These findings are combined with a unique data set covering both topics and thus add to the growing literature on Euroscepticism while also exploring the divide between the 'losers' and 'winners' of modernisation processes. The article introduces categories of occupational status groups, namely the 'engaged', the 'skilled workers', and the 'legworkers', which represent different levels of involvement in modernisation processes. It explores the differences in attitudes between these groups and how those differences correlate with citizens' professional status. It is concluded that perceived subjective alienation, which manifests in racist and anti-democratic attitudes, best explains EU-scepticism
