10 Most Dishonest Professions in America

1. Members of Congress

Percentage of people with very low/low opinion: 61%

Numbers sometimes speak much more than words. Americans have clearly stated what they think of those sitting all day in cushy Washington DC chairs and do much less than they’re supposed to – considering their salaries. Only 6% of Americans hold their respective congressmen in high regard, and only 1% of people would vote for them again by giving them their full support. 30% of Americans have decided to give them an average rating, but 37% of them have decided to scorn them. Finally, 24% of Americans definitely wouldn’t vote them again, ant that’s an understatement.

This is the list of 10 most dishonest professions in America that rarely changes much – especially at the top. While some professions manage to enter this infamous top 10 on occasion, most of the vocations with political background are a long-time tenants. Same goes for people who are supposed to shape our thoughts through marketing and for those who are supposed to sell us something that either isn’t good enough, or comes with way too much fine print. On the other hand, you’ll never see a doctor or a teacher on this list; let alone a fearsome firefighter who puts his life on the line to help others.
