Recently, the reconstructurings of the Japanese economy have expanded to the area of managerial and clerical employees. On this paper, we examine the changes of managerial and clerical employees from the points of social stratification and psychological functionings. The results show that managerial employees have the high presitige status and lower anxieties, but usual clerical employees have lower economic status and the highest psychological anxieties. The social status of white collar is now declining.
