      ab: A study was conducted to compare the ideological and political salience of class in the U.S. and Britain. Data were drawn from the Comparative Project on Class Consciousness and Class Conflict. Findings revealed that class divisions were considerably more important in political party affiliations in Britain than in the U.S. In addition, it was revealed that although class was not of great political salience in the U.S., it had a strong impact in industrial relations and in the workplace. It was concluded that, in Britain, class loyalties linked to employment divisions mold political identification, whereas in the U.S., class differences in the work environment do not translate into distinct political identities.
