What about TelData for the class and job_data for an instance of the 
class?
You might prefer TelemetryStatistics.
It seems to me that the word 'job' would be more appropriate as (or part 
of) an instance name rather than the class name.
Sounds like a question for "an English Major". (Any Garrison Keillor 
fans out there?)
