I think construction workers should be considered as heroes along with first responders and military.

But. Most people join the military because they don’t have other options and most people become cops after leaving the military or because they couldn’t join the military. Construction workers actually do have a vested interest in building things YOU and many people actually take granted. Many people are pretty ignorant of the construction industry. Trade workers are educated for a long time before they are established. They also sacrifice their body and their time for their jobs. Much longer than education required for military work or the police departments.
