Facts about the most unpopular jobs in the world

Tax examiners

Let's face it, a lot of people don't like paying their taxes. Makes sense then, why tax collectors and examiners are not well liked.

People have felt victimized by tax examiners, who have been alleged to subject clients to time-absorbing audits.

Politicians

Politicians have been disliked for thousands of years, and things aren't much different nowadays. People who work in politics have been criticized for being dishonest.

Dentists

Dentists strike fear in the heart of many kids around the world. Despite doing great work, dentists are still feared, and thus disliked, by far too many.

Real estate agents

Real estate agents have been criticized for being in it for themselves, as they often benefit from working as an individual. Lack of communication and respect have also been listed as reasons for disliking real estate agents.

Car mechanics

Being a car mechanic is tough, but the job has been badly stereotyped, with some mechanics being labeled dishonest and slow-working.

Stock traders

Stock traders are painted a certain way in the media, money-makers who'll do anything for a quick buck. In the words of Michael Douglas' character in 'Wall Street,' "Greed is good."

School principals

The principal's office is a scary place for a school child. Many kids dislike school, so they're bound to hate the person in charge of operations.

Used car salesmen

Stereotyped as greasy-haired liars in movies and TV shows, used car salesmen could maybe have a bit more respect.

Lawyers

Lawyers guide their clients through the mysterious world of the justice system. Unfortunately, said system is slow and imperfect, and lawyers get the brunt of a client's criticism.  

TV news anchors/journalists

In this climate, more and more people have been critical of journalists, especially TV news anchors.

Insurance jobs

People who work in insurance are tasked with persuading people to buy policies for their own good. Similar to lawyers, you only deal with insurers in times of crisis.

Traffic wardens

Surely you saw this one coming. Traffic wardens are one of the most disliked people on the roads, sometimes due to being unpredictable and striking when you least expect.

Customer care executives

Customer care executives are other workers who get a bad rep. Being a good customer service worker requires being very empathetic and understanding, which can be hard to keep up day-in, and day-out.

Police

Another tough one, despite protecting and serving, police are criticized in just about every country around the world.

Landlords

Landlords are instinctively disliked by renters around the world, painted as bad guys for allegedly raising the rent and pricing out people.
