This is from a recent sociological analysis of a portuguese town. one of the criteria discussed is social class.
"Encontramos também um conjunto de inquiridos classificados como pequena burguesia de execução (PBE) (19,7%) nos quais se incluem predominantemente trabalhadores executantes do sector terciário e dos serviços."
I am pretty sure that "pequena burguesia" is "lower middle class",
"de execução" is maybe "semi-skilled" or just "worker"?

Semi-skilled petty bourgeoisie
The "semi-skilled" part is just a guess, but I'm dead sure that "pequena burguesia" is usually translated as "petty bourgeoisie".

Of course, considering that this text is from a social sciences discipline and, more specifically, of a marxist verve, since any non-marxist scholar (myself included) would avoid the class division (proletariat, petty bourgeoisie, bourgeoisie and so on) advanced by Karl Marx and his followers.
