  Abstract:  The Evolution of the Economic and Social Position of the Hungarian University Lecturers and Researchers from Cluj after 1989. The study presents the economic and social situation of the hungarian university lectureres and reseachers from Cluj after 1989. We examine the economic and social differentiation of the Hungarian university lecturers and researchers from Cluj through a model that contains six classes. These classes are: the upper class, upper-middle class, middle class, under-middle class, working class and underclass. The empirical data demonstrate that the fi-nancial situation of the Hungarian university lecturers and researchers from Cluj is bet-ter than that of most Hungarians in Romania and the Romanian society in general, and they are aware of this fact. However, this middle strata is not a homogenous one. Our data demonstrate that there is a relationship between the position of the interviewed person and his economic situation, but there is no concrete relationship between the social origin and the economic situation. There is, however, a tendency according to which those individuals whose parents belonged to the upper and upper-middle class would themselves too belong to the upper or upper-middle class, while only half of the persons belonging to the middle and lower-middle class had parents belonging to the upper or upper-middle class.
