> A lot of discussion in this thread seems to be ignoring the subjectivity in defining what a job is

Wage-based employment is not subjective, it is a formally defined and legally-regulated practice. You can call contract work a "job" but it's not relevant to the topic at hand—wages.

That's not what my comment is about. That's a contractual distinction.

In the context of HR, a "Job" is a collection of similar positions, an Job Analysis is "a family of procedures to identify the content of a job in terms of the activities it involves in addition to the attributes or requirements necessary to perform those activities".

Why would you think this is relevant?
