Social mobility

Explanation:

Social mobility is the movement of individuals, families, households, or other categories of people within or between social strata in a society. It is a change in social status relative to one's current social location within a given society.

Jewel was struggling to make ends meet when she moved to San Diego but experienced a dramatic turn in her social status when Atlantic Records signed her.
