Yes, it does. How about those military bases in towns in the South? Some of those towns were backwater towns until the government came in, put soldiers and officers there, and they were paid money and people in that town decided to take advantage of it. Of course, we know that being a soldier and officer isn't a real job
Taking money from one part of the country and shuffling it around to another part of the country, is not creating jobs, it's just moving money and resources around.
It might look like you created jobs, or even a town, by using $300 million to build a school, banks, homes, parks and stores. But all you did was take millions of dollars from people living in other towns, preventing them from using that money to build their own stores, a schools, parks, and homes in their own town. All you are doing is moving money around.

Gee, are you an economist? And here I thought the entire point of an economy is to move money around.

Ok, so, what if I want to take a day off? What if I, as a business owner, don't want to work 7 days a week from 8AM to 9PM? What do I do? Hire more people to run my business for me so I can have a day or 2 off and not have to work 12+ hours everyday.
It is cyclical and complicated. Give me one example of a company that manufactures a product for which there is no demand.
It happened all the time in communist countries. The government mandates people buy a specific product, even though no one wants it. Sort of like the health insurance policies forced upon us by ObamaCare.
Entrepreneurs manufacture a new product without a public demand, because no one has seen it before. The first tin cans were manufactured 200 years ago, there was no demand for them, because it was new. People had to be convinced that canned foods were better tasting, and an improvement over the home canning they could do with Mason jars. It was a few decades later before the first can opener was invented, and it was manufactured before the public demand too.
