I'd be willing to bet it's a hell of a lot more than that when you consider contractors working for the government.  I live in the Northern VA/DC/Baltimore area and there's tons of companies doing business with all levels of government.  Boeing, GE, Accenture.

Take a ride down I-270 and you'll see a lot.

Governments employ 20 percent or more of workers in nine states.  Including Hawaii ;)

MD is a very important state, key location, involved with its own functions and some federal ones too, right?
