Harris Poll: Firefighter Most Prestigious Occupation

 
Media Post Blog quotes findings made by Harris Interactive;

"According to the results of the annual Harris Poll measuring public perceptions of 23 professions and occupations, firefighters, doctors, and nurses are seen as prestigious occupations by U.S. adults, while business executives, stockbrokers and real estate agents are at the opposite end of the spectrum. And at least ¼ of adults think that union leaders, real estate brokers, and actors have “hardly any prestige at all.”

Six occupations are perceived to have “very great” prestige by at least half of all adults:

  • firefighters (63%)
  • doctors (58%)
  • nurses (55%)
  • scientists (54%)
  • teachers (52%)
  • military officers (51%)"
