Industry had started and was growing at a tremendous pace however by far the bulk of the working population were what we'd now call manual labourers. This would have been at least 90% of the workers. Better off were what we'd now call the self employed earning a living from supplying a particular need: bakers, shopkeepers, cobblers etc who were around 8%. The "good" jobs, for the lucky last 2%, whether in the clergy, medicine, law, almost anything not involving physical effort, were reserved for the " well educated". Given the educational systems of the time these were almost always the sons of the wealthy. I use the sex specific "sons" deliberately as very, very few women worked for wages in the late 19th century.
