I don't see any reason to suspect it targeted a particular occupational group rather than a certain ethnic one. What I'm unsure about is the socioeconomic dimension. In general, the lower orders are stereotyped as more emotive and expressive, but I can't think of any jokes that stereotype, say, poor Appalachians in the same way that this one does Blacks.
