You can take the popular series F. R. I. E. N. D. S for example.

There are many main characters in the series. So, take Joey for example. I think he belongs to the Lower middle class according to what I have observed from the series till now. The reasons behind this judgement are:

He rarely discusses general facts with his friends (education level).

He doesn't spend much money as of what is shown in the series (level of wealth).

He works as a waiter in the Central Perk (occupation).

He has a little bit power over his friends but not in the whole society (power).

His gets respect by his friends most of the times and people sometimes obey him (prestige).

This is what I could come up with at this moment.
