I'm trying to write about two groups of people who have different levels of education given to them with different resources at their disposal. one group is at least all high school educated- some holding college degrees, able to search for jobs because they're in cities, the 2nd have illiterate to low reading levels and do not have complete highschool education, they have limited job opportunity available to them cause they're in a rural area.

Is there a better term than privileged to describe the difference because It sounds like they are socially ostracized or some other social privilege than a physical time invested advantage thing.
