I read it that way first as well but I think it's intended the other way: "for everyone except farmers" ...

    Yeah, I believe the intended reading should have a comma after farmers, which would clarify that "them" at the end of the sentence is only referring to engineers, police/fire/ambulance, teachers, etc...

    EDIT: actually now that I think about it I don't know that a comma alone would fix it, but I still support the comma there.
