You made a false assumption that the category of Gvernment jobs represents Federal jobs paid for with Chinese borrowed money. That is incorrect as your history class failed to teach you. In addition to Federal, we have Local and State governments. As an example, the September increase in Government jobs is 73,000 which includes 56,000 local and state goverrnment jobs. The Federal number of 17,000 includes postal jobs which are paid for with the sale of stamps.

From Bureau of Labor 

"In September, government employment increased by 73,000, above the average monthly gain of 47,000 over the prior 12 months. Over the month, job gains occurred in state government education (+29,000) and in local government, excluding education (+27,000). Employment in government is slightly below (-9,000) its February 2020 level."
