Business and Industry Sector Perceptions

The following table displays the results of the business and industry sector rankings from Gallup's August 2007 Work and Education poll. The survey asked Americans to rate their views on 25 different industries in the United States. Below are the industries with the best and worst perceptions. The retail real estate industry was in the middle of the ranking with a 35% negative view declining 36% over the past 4 years. This clearly indicates considerable room for improvement.
