Whether it is a state job or a federal job every job that there is increases consumption and demand for that consumption and in the case of the federal government, the higher job security increases the likelihood of more consumption from the person holding it, thereby increasing demand and pepping up the private market.

Where did you learn your economics? Who the hell do you think pays for those federal employee salaries? Where does the money come from? The federal government produces nothing except for more federal jobs. The private sector pays for the costs of government. The money that goes to the government in the form of higher taxes takes money out of the private sector.
