socioeconomic status - (pronounced) (SOH-see-oh-EH-kuh-NAH-mik STA-tus) way to describe people based on their education, income, and type of work. Socioeconomic status is commonly described as low, medium, and high. People with a lower socioeconomic status tend to have less access to financial, educational, social, and health resources than people with a higher socioeconomic status. As a result, they are more likely to be in poor health and have chronic health problems and disabilities. Also called SES
