def run_scripts(conn_str, database, collection):
    conn_str = conn_str
    database = database
    collection = collection
    client = MongoClient(conn_str)
    db = client[database]
    collection = db[collection]
    res = employee.emp_data()
    
    for i in res:
        salary = i.get('salary', 0)
        i['status'] = 'rich' if salary > 50000 else ('middle_class' if 25000 < salary < 50000 else 'poor')
