So far all I've been able to find in the RAW is the backgrounds section (an NPC might have the Criminal background, e.g.) and the wages section, which explains that some workers are "skilled artisans" and earn a higher daily wage and are considered to have proficiency with their toolset, and that you *might* be able to hire a Wizard to cast low-level spells for you in a large city. I'm particularly interested in fleshing out some of the politics and economics of the D&D 5e world in my campaigns, and so it's important to me to think about who the NPCs are, what abilities they have, and how they all interact with each other.
They typically weren't as powerful as a given level in a PC class, and they definitely weren't optimized for adventuring, but they would give NPCs some extra HP and some cool abilities that helped flesh them out mechanically as the "important" NPCs, who would be valuable allies and dangerous enemies. I vaguely remember there used to be some kind of NPC classes in earlier editions of D&D - Commoner, Expert, Aristocrat, and so on.
