population growth is not equal to labor force growth. Labor force participation in the US is 65% of the working age population.

In any case, considering how much of the "investing in the future" actually comes from the government, yes, public investment does create lasting jobs. And considering the current stimulus package emphasizes health and education spending above all, you can bet that it is investing in the future.
