Nurses most trusted by public. Bankers, not so much.
Finance majors will likely not appreciate the results of the latest Gallup poll which found that bankers have reached an all-time low when it comes to the public’s confidence.
The 2008 Galllup Honest and Ethics poll showed that 84 percent of Americans rated nurses high or very high in the areas of honesty and ethics, while bankers dropped from a 41 percent high-to-very-high ethics rating in 2005 to 23 percent in 2008.
Bankers took a hit most likely from the Wall Street mess, but they’re still not in the least well-rated professions for honesty and ethics. Lobbyists and telemarketers took that honor, with less than 7 percent of people finding them honest or ethical.
Congressmen didn’t do so well either with a 12 percent honesty-and ethics rating.
Journalists fell somewhere in the middle with 25 percent high-ethics-and honesty rating.
Now that’s harsh.
