Insurance professionals generally encounter a poor public image.
In the latest edition of the Public Service Monitor 2021, a survey conducted by the Forsa research institute on behalf of the DBB civil service union, firefighters have been identified as the most respected profession in Germany. This esteemed position stands in stark contrast to the least respected profession, which is politicians.
The survey revealed that 93% of Germans hold firefighters in high or very high regard, a testament to the vital role they play in public safety and emergency response. On the other end of the spectrum, insurance agents find themselves at the bottom of the list, with only 8% of respondents holding them in high or very high regard. This places insurance agents below employees of advertising agencies and telephone companies.
Doctors and nurses, who are often at the forefront of the healthcare system, also enjoy a high level of respect from Germans. They received an 87% and 86% high/very high regard, respectively. Elderly caregivers and kindergarten educators are also held in high regard by most Germans, although specific data for these professions were not provided in the survey.
It's worth noting that bank employees, politicians, trade union officials, and tax officials have a higher approval rating than insurance agents. However, the survey did not provide specific information about the sample size or methodology used.

This conclusion aligns with well-established patterns in similar surveys about respect for public service roles in Germany. The public's respect for politicians is often lower due to public dissatisfaction and skepticism towards political institutions and representatives.
In conclusion, the Public Service Monitor 2021 sheds light on the professions that Germans respect the most and least. While the results may not come as a surprise, it's important to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of those in public service, from firefighters to kindergarten educators, who contribute significantly to the well-being of our society.
