The inheritance tax proposal was aimed squarely at the core vote, which I define as the upwardly mobile middle classes. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Haitians in America and Canada are well known as upwardly mobile, entrepreneurial, and hardworking. ❋ Unknown (2010)
I fear that in our so-called upwardly mobile world we are on a downward spiral toward moral bankruptcy. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Sir Michael Caine is, as am I, a member of what used to be known as the upwardly-mobile working class, the real target of Labour's class warfare. ❋ James Macintyre (2010)
I gave the idea of upwardly trickling funds some thought. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Other than that, apart from the multiple, identical Buddhas clumped together on one shelf, which lent a jumble sale feel to what is meant to be a 'posh' couples 'flat as in London's' new landed gentry '(as one elderly gentlemen had termed the upwardly mobile, affected accent set) the living room, divided in two, with a' poor man's 'dining room (mismatched seating, etc) in which the upstairs couple of lesser means are meant to dwell, on the left seems apt. ❋ Unknown (2009)
After an hour or so of looking at slideshows, I'd fallen prey to a kind of upwardly mobile Stockholm syndrome -- reading that one house had "no surround sound in the cabana," I found myself reacting like I'd read that "the roof leaks and the rooms are infested by feral cats." ❋ Unknown (2008)

Putnam (2010)
Dederer, a critic for the New York Times and other publications, has artfully tapped into these themes; her book is a primer for educated, upwardly mobile mothers in the 21st century who are unhappy in spite of their blessings. 2/3 of the book feels tough and real, the parts where Dederer struggles with life and the poses, but 1/3 -- I call it the Boulder Pass -- about hiking, becomes a more challenging crossing. ❋ Patricia Zohn (2011)
She was once, rather snobbishly, described as "the most upwardly mobile Greek since Icarus". ❋ Unknown (2011)
The growth was slower than January's upwardly revised 3.95% gain and well below the median estimate for a 5.2% rise in a Dow Jones Newswires poll of 15 economists. ❋ Sudeep Jain (2011)
