Because "jobs" is a number primitive, not an object. "friends" and "favoriteThings" on the other hand are objects. They are simply references (pointers), so when you change their values, you are actually changing values of objects which they are referencing. If you made jobs via "new Number()" rather than a number literal, it would also be an object, and any change in one instance would affect other ones as well.
