You're wanting to validate monetary values people are assigning to jobs? ...
The issue you're having is that you're going about validation in reverse --
you want to ensure that the field contains no non-numeric values, rather
than ensuring that it contains numeric values as above... so... I would
probably use this as being the simplest solution (doesn't even require any
regex):
<cfif not isnumeric(form.job_amount)>
<cfset error_message = "blah blah...">
</cfif>
