In the communist era of socialist countries, the status of workers was pushed to the top. The government vigorously promoted the greatness of the working class, and as an example required the majority of the people to compete to learn, and the "model workers" were pushed to the status of gods and Buddhas. Workers are in a very important position in industrial production, and the "workers" currently referred to are those who work at the lowest level. The "workers" at the upper level are called "technicians" or "technicians" to distinguish them. In developing countries or poor countries (Third World), workers are derogated from being the lowest-ranking people and as a working class they are discriminated against by others, especially urban residents. For example, in China, workers are called: migrant workers (now called migrant workers), in the construction site, they are called reinforcement workers, frame workers, plumbers, etc.
