Did anyone else see this study about who's most likely to cheat on taxes?

A study by a University of Chicago doctoral student Oscar Vela (and published by Time) , looked at the percent people misrepresented their income and then ranked them by profession.





1) Production Workers - bakers, butchers, factory workers, jewelers


2) Building and Ground Maintenance - cleaning staffs, janitors, landscapers, pest control workers


3) Transportation and Material Moving Operations - bus drivers, parking lot attendants, movers


4) Construction Trade - contractors, electricians, house painters


5) Install, Maintain and Repair - auto mechanics, home Appliance repairmen, locksmiths


6) Life, Physical and Social Sciences - chemists, economists, zoologists


7) Protective Services - crossing guards, firefighters, police, security guards


8 ) Personal Care - childcare workers, funeral attendants, manicurists


9) Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports and Media - actors, editors, public relations specialists


10) Healthcare Support - dental assistants, home health aides, massage therapists





Don't you think it's remarkable that the top five are ALL union dominated trades?|||Funny with jobs like this they are not RICH either!!!!! Tax the RICH feed the poor...... Bullshit!|||massage therapists should at the top as they feel their way to cheating.|||Seems to me that the guy who writes the tax code should have made the top of the list.|||im not surprised.|||How come Democratic politicians aren't at the top like Conservatives claim?
