This slopegraph shows survey results from a Harris Poll on which industries are considered trustworthy. They asked adults in the US, “Which of these industries do you think are generally honest and trustworthy - so that you normally believe a statement by a company in that industry?” The survey is conducted annually; this graph compares 2003 responses to 2013 responses.

In general, most companies are less trusted than they were 10 years ago. Banks in particular are considered much less honest. However, oil and tobacco companies are still the least trusted.
