10. Many federal workers.

Work in jobs that save the country a lot of money, but it is difficult to put a dollar value on their work. I do industrial cost estimating where it is difficult to determine the dollar impact of events that happen, but where end of line cost/benefits analysis of them happenings is not done, this is commonplace in manufacturing, where things like the cost of labor and parts are known, but the cost of downtime due to not having enough labor and parts is unmeasured. Trump has people tell him how much a federal worker costs, but those people don't have it care about how much not having a federal worker costs. Trump's avid supporters view government workers as leeches that get big salaries (false in most cases) and benefits.
