Yes they are the poor of the upper class. Just like governesses who are seen as fallen bc they have to work to support themselves. When you read about the conditions of the working poor it become a different story. People who are only able to rent a bed during the day and work nightshifts. Families of 5-10 living in single rooms without running water etc.
