Mammas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Lobbyists
In the 1970s, Gallup began polling to see what Americans think of honesty and ethics in various professions. Generally speaking, nurses have toped the list. And towards the bottom have been business executives and stockbrokers (each with a 32% low or very low rating), advertising practitioners (37%), car salespeople (44%) telemarketers (56%), and members of Congress (58%).In 2007, they may have been looking for a profession with even less regard than members of Congress, so they added lobbyists.
