The Upper and upper middle class Victorians did not work; they would inherit their money from relatives. If they did have occupations it would be that of business or land owner (ei. an owner of a cotton mill). They would enjoy lavish parties, music and food would be their main enjoyment. Would have a great number of servants. Upstairs maids, parlor maids, ladies maids, valets, butler, coach drivers, groundskeepers, gardeners, cooks, housekeeper, governess and nurse (if they had children). Approx annual income £5000 to 30,000

There were also middle and lower middle class families, these were Doctors, lawyers. They would enjoy some of the same things as the upper class but not to such an extent and would not be involved in as many parties and circles. Would not have as many servants; a cook, house keeper.

Approx annual income £100-1000

The Lower class which was a focal point of Charles Dickens who were hard labour workers, factory hands etc. They either did not have any servants or were servants themselves. Approx income 3s 6d /week.
