There is an argument to be made that having secure high paying government jobs harms other sectors by taking employees and raising average pay, forcing them to keep up. We aren't anywhere near that being an issue though, but there is a limit where more government jobs can make recovery harder, when other sectors go out of business competing with it and there's nowhere for anyone to go once the government jobs close.
