6. The Top 5 Most Trusted Professions
Attorneys, journalists, medical professionals — these are the
kinds of professions many have long expected a little more out
of, particularly when it comes to trust. Most people working in
such positions today understand that level of responsibility and
say they work hard to honor it. But they are not always
considered among the most trusted professions, according to a
2009 poll.
7. The Top 5 Most Trusted Professions
1.Firefighters
A 2009 poll conducted by market research
institute GfK found that firefighters ranked as the most
trusted profession in Europe and the United States with 92
percent of respondents fining them trustworthy. Perhaps
it’s all in the job description—being required to step into
the face of danger every time you head out for an
assignment is not just admirable, it’s downright heroic.
8. 2.Teacher
In the same GfK poll that lauded
firefighters,
teachers ranked second with 83 percent.
It’s a good sign considering that the
people responsible for crafting the minds
of our children are deemed trustworthy.

3. Doctors/Nurses
Medical professionals, postal workers, and those
serving in the armed forces tied for third place with
81 percent polled pulling for each profession in the
Gfk poll, which makes sense considering the amount
responsibility each job holds.

4. Postal Workers
More than just about delivering your mail on time,
postal workers are the people who filter and ensure
the delivery of everything from that Amazon.com
package and paychecks to tax returns and magazine
subscriptions, all which could reveal a lot about
you if put into the wrong hands.

5. Armed Forces
If medical professionals operate to save lives, those
in the military put their own on the line for everyone
else. Almost everyone is on high alert today over
fears of terrorism, the military is the frontline defense
against these acts.
12. The Least Trusted Professions …
Journalists
The sheer power of the media is in itself
intimidating, especially when most people flat out
depend on their ability to deliver the truth.
Unfortunately media credibility has shaken out to
just 41 percent among those polled. But those who
try to do right by their work will tell you that such a
blanket assessment is unfair and inaccurate.
13. The Least Trusted Professions …
Politicians
They may build careers on being civil servants on behalf of the
people, but politicians rank the absolute lowest, with a scant 18
percent of those polled saying they trust their elected officials.
For every George Washington, there’s a Richard Nixon or Rod
Blagojevich or Larry Craig and so on.
