The list of "essential workers" was fairly big depending on how businesses wanted to interpret things. On top of service type jobs, any job that did anything for the government, or any of its contractors or suppliers, were all considered "essential". Anything that dealt with first responders or the like were considered "essential" as well. And all of those businesses have to some degree people that need to work in an office to support them.
