This actually is a hard question. I assume it needs to be an industry that is small, doesn't have huge margins and probably is primarily manual labour.

Maybe something like blacksmithing?

Hmm... Wouldn't be so sure. Some librarians have the power to selectively forgive late fees. They can give preferential treatment depending on their mood or the politeness of the person. You might also bribe a librarian to let you take out books from the special collection.

What are they going to do, rub you extra rough if you're a Democrat?

I don't think the "natural properties" of a career or industry will be enough to be lowest. I think an industry or career with high oversight from many individuals and regulators. Likely something that has fucked up before, and massively.

Slot machine programmer.

  • regulated industry
  • work can be checked many times
  • customers (casinos) don't want to be fucked
  • gamblers don't want to be fucked
  • loads of money to be made doing things well
  • lots of scary people willing to drop you in a hole

Definitely not that new Jewelry store I saw at the mall the other day, Shauron's gift emporium or something like that. That place look corrupt~~ing~~ as can be, they have nine employees working there and they all look wraithlike. Do the employees ever leave the store? There is this one creepy fellow always hanging around in the corners of the store, whispering about some birthday gift he lost or something.

Nah that place is fine. I got a ring there and they basically gave it to me. It’s really high quality and I love it. It is precious to me.

Cleaning services, can't think of any reason to bribe them

If they go into influential people's houses or into important businesses, I can think of a few reasons to bribe them to do things for you.

I was going to say meteorologist, but it looks like Latin times says there are some people that disagree... https://www.latintimes.com/murdering-meteorologists-wont-stop-hurricanes-forecaster-flooded-violent-threats-weather-561991
