I don't think that works. The jobs guarantee would only provide a real alternative to low-wage unskilled labor positions. Most of those have a known pay rate often keyed to the minimum wage. It's middle class jobs and up that require negotiation with specialized skills.

But do you care about the sticker wage or about the purchasing power? I submit you probably should care about the latter, which some would lose a lot on.
I’m guessing you’ve never heard of @JeffBezos the richest guy in the world who fired Chris Smalls for demanding the safety of his coworkers during COVID. I’m not going to further entertain the poor billionaire CEOs having to raise costs to still provide affordable services

I don't see how any of that is relevant to the above. In terms of wage inflation, you should recognize that even though you may benefit low skilled labor overall with more redistributed wealth directed at them, rises in consumer good prices would offset some of that.

Looking more globally, federal jobs would (1) cost a lot, and (2) necessarily compete against the private market and similar low-wage jobs. This puts a lot of faith in federal jobs being actually productive, which is a highly dubious proposition. Society would be poorer.
