Validate All Object Properties with JSON Schema

I'm writing a JSON schema to validate asset files for a program. The JSON I need to parse is structured so:

```json
{
  "jobs": {
    "software-developer": { "job-description": "sw-dev.md:0", "pay": 80000 },
    "sales-bro": { "job-description": "sales-bro", "pay": 190000 }
  },
  "people": {
    "alice": { "name": "Alice", "profile-pic": "profile-alice.jpg:0" },
    "bob": { "name": "Bob", "profile-pic": "bob.png:0" }
  }
}
```

As you can see, each sub-object of a primary group follows a very deterministic pattern, but the top-level object keys vary based on the id of the asset being described. In this format, things like alice, bob, and sales-bro aren't being treated as object properties, but more like identifiers.

Is there a way in JSON schema to validate such a scheme? Can I create a rule that validates the values corresponding to **every** key within an object?

```json
{
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema",
  "$id": "https://example.com/my-assets.json",
  "title": "Assets",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "jobs": {
      "type": "object",
      "each-property": { // <--- dubious
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "job-description": ...,
          "pay": ...
        }
      }
    },
    "people": {
      // etc...
    }
  }
}
```
