Re: Schema.org proposal: Financial information

Yes, it would be good to properly relate JobPosting to schema:Offer / schema:Demand types.
The underlying GoodRelations model is meant to support any offer or demand for any object or activity for any type of compensation, so human labor is well within the original scope. We may want to generalize the pricing model a bit (at least in terms of terminology). Conceptually, it will already fit for hourly, weekly, monthly and annual wages.
