A recent study by Halo, which surveyed 500 Americans about the industries they find most and least trustworthy, has found some pretty enlightening trends. For one, despite all the political discussions that may have you believing the contrary, Americans still believe the scientific community is the most trustworthy industry out there. This is quite impressive considering trust in corporate, government, and media institutions has been falling steadily in recent years. Followed by technology, military, education, and the arts, these industries are defined by their commitment to truth, condemning fake news at every chance they get. As for the least trustworthy industries, the study found a veritable who’s-who of controversy-riddled industries that couldn’t muster an ounce of trust if it bit them on the nose. Oil and petroleum came in at number one, while marketing and advertising, finance and insurance, government, and religion rounded out the top five. So why these industries?
