3 first posts, and done!
Not sure about the order, though.
Least respectable?
Insurance executive. Bank executive. ICE.
Least respected? Customer service, food service, garbage men.

Hmm maybe custodian. But I feel like most people give them a lot of respect. Even in high school people were overly nice to the janitors.
On second thought, I hate door to door salesmen or people on the street trying to sell you shit.

Traffic wardens...not sure what they're called in America actually, the ones who give out tickets when you park illegally. They're pretty hated worldwide, I feel.
The taxman.
Police is probably up there.

Parking Enforcement or Meter Maids are the common terms I've seen in the US.
Parking Enforcement is the official name, usually.
We call them meter maids, though.
Least respectable would probably be financial sector.
The servise industry and factory workers. Pretty much any unskilled labor that anyone with a 4th grade education can do is not going to get a lot of respect in general.
I respect the poop out of pornstars - probably the least hypocritical group of people. Trust a pornstar, not a politician.
Sex Workers in general get a tough break. Some people have it in their heads that they can say whatever they want to a sex worker just because they've seen them naked.
Ew. Hard work is the worst.
To answer your question OP, anyone who works in law enforcement as well as people who work for the administration.
Yeah the politicians that get to decide where to deploy makes me agreeable with this. Even though I am an Afghan vet that have had to make considerable sacrifices.
If the military actually worked on a system of morality I would highly disagree.
With the state of the world though I'm inclined to agree. Don't judge me too hard please, I was 20 when I deployed and the propaganda had done it's job on me already.
Totally agree. They are more in touch with the duality of the human condition, imo. Society doesn't like looking at itself in the mirror.
You're right but we have one legal job that covers both.
If we were to look at many jobs few would impact your life when you aren't working. In the few that do I think pornstars get the worst treatment across multiple demgraphics as well as family members.
That's why we should switch the names for garbage men and pickup artists.
