jobsis a shell builtin. It tells you about the jobs that the current shell is managing. It can give you information that is internal to the shell, like the job numbers (which you can use in shortcuts likefg %2) and the original command line as it appeared before variable expansions.psis an external command which can tell you about all the processes running on the system. (By default it only shows a small subset, but there are options to select larger sets of processes to display.) It doesn’t know about the shell-internal stuff.
