F tier - cops, military officers, coast guard, Immigration and custom inspectors

F+ tier - DAs, military, TSA officers

D tier - doctors

D+ tier - psychologists

C tier - nurses

B tier - teachers, private defense attorneys, tax collectors

A tier - social workers, janitors, government agency workers (DMV workers, office jobs, etc), public defenders, pro-bono defense attorneys

S tier - postal workers, firefighters, sanitation workers, veterinarians, anesthesiologists, park employees, forest rangers

Rest in Power p.a.t.c.o, martyrs in the fight for labor rights

EDIT: I'd like to add that this is mostly US-centric. In other countries, doctors probably range from B tier to S tier. As for defense attorneys, I honestly don't know enough about their demographics to determine how many of them are Alan Dershowitz and how many are actual public servants.

      Doctors generally heavily oppose any action to reduce their income, like healthcare nationalisation efforts, even if it means that hundreds of of people die.

      Not sure why nurses are C

          NHS

          Also at my uni, the people most familiar with strikes were the med and nursing students. Either they, their professors, or their future co-workers were constantly on strike or planning one

        This is specifically about public servants lol healthcare nationalisation doesn't hurt them.

        Could be the truly surprising, to me, amount of racism in the healthcare industry. Other than that, no idea. And if what you're saying is true, how are anesthesiologists' class interests more working class than a pediatrician?

            Ironic because the stereotype within medicine is that you go into anesthesia if you don’t like talking to patients, and you’re lazy but want to make a lot of money just supervising CRNAs and playing sudoku. Not really true but lol they’re hardly the People’s Doctor

              Haha I have a close relative who is an anesthesiologist and it's not that far from the truth

        Which workers are expected to support action to reduce their income? And yet, majority of physicians DO support single payer now even though it would likely reduce their income (source). American College of Physicians even officially endorsed single payer (source). AMA is somewhere in between but still supports major overhaul. I’m a doctor and fully support M4A, and I suspect most young doctors do as well.

          Workers that deliver significant benefits to society? I wish there was more employment for new grads in my field even though this would depress wages in the long run.

          I would also note that single payer doesn't remotely mean the sorts of reforms that would actually ensure everyone has access, and I'm not sure the price gouging that goes with Medicare wouldn't similarly occur if its dreadful model was expanded.

      who do you think performed all of those forced sterilizations on marginalized groups? Doctors were lobotomizing gay people as recently as the 50s. We're still suffering the effects of slavery even though it was a century and a half ago. Medical homophobia, transphobia, and racism were practiced as recently as 30 years ago. I will admit that most doctors have similar class interests to the proletariat, but they've historically been used as instruments of institutionalized bigotry.
