earners
Those collecting paychecks
Earners are people who earn money, typically through work or wages.
The word often appears with qualifiers: high earners, low earners, top earners.
A wage earner supports a household through employment.
Beyond income, earner can describe anything that generates returns: That rental property is a steady earner.
