Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 12 - Chapter 1 - Verse 35

Sanskrit:

पणयिष्यन्ति वै क्षुद्रा: किराटा: कूटकारिण: ।अनापद्यपि मंस्यन्ते वार्तां साधु जुगुप्सिताम् ॥ ३५ ॥

ITRANS:

paṇayiṣyanti vai kṣudrāḥkirāṭāḥ kūṭa-kāriṇaḥanāpady api maṁsyantevārtāṁ sādhu jugupsitām

Translation:

Businessmen will engage in petty commerce and earn their money by cheating. Even when there is no emergency, people will consider any degraded occupation quite acceptable.

Purport:

Although other occupations are available, people do not hesitate to work in coal mines, slaughterhouses, steel mills, deserts, floating oil rigs, submarines and other equally abominable situations. As also mentioned here, businessmen will consider cheating and lying to be a perfectly respectable way to do business. These are all symptoms of the Age of Kali.
