Socioeconomic status is just a way of talking about what position a person is in society compared to other people on certain factors.
For example, someone is viewed as having high socioeconomic status or alow socioeconomic status in society based on such things as: how much money they have, where they live, their education, job, accomplishments, race, etc.
One basic socioeconomic scale used to measure a person's place in society is to say that a person is either wealthy, middle class or poor.
