Pharmacists, doctors top Gallup honesty and ethics poll

A Gallup survey conducted March 11-17, 1996 found that Canadians consider medical professionals some of the most ethical and honest people around. Sixty-two percent of those polled said that pharmacists had ethical standards that were high or very high. Only 5% said this group had low or very low standards, for a score of +57. Engineers rated a +41, college teacher a +37, and the clergy a +36. Attorneys, advertisers, labor union leaders and real estate agents were among the lowest rated groups.
