C# deserialization element mapping

Question

I would like to deserialize the following XML into the following type. How do I map the status correctly? (it is currently not mapped and remains null after the deserialization process)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<job:job-status xsi:schemaLocation="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/job-status job-status.xsd" xmlns:job="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/job-status" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <job:forest>
    <job:forest-name>FOREST2</job:forest-name>
    <job:forest-id>1168048654236455340</job:forest-id>
    <job:status>completed</job:status>
    <job:journal-archiving>false</job:journal-archiving>
  </job:forest>
</job:job-status>

[XmlRoot("job-status", Namespace = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/job-status")]
public class DatabaseRestoreStatus
{
    [XmlElement("status")]
    public string Status { get; set; }
}

Using DataContract Serializer worked for me. I also had to create one more class.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;

namespace SandboxConoleApp
{

    internal class Program
    { 
        private static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DatabaseRestoreStatus data = null;
            using (var stream = File.Open("test.xml",FileMode.Open))
            {
                var formatter = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(DatabaseRestoreStatus));
                data = (DatabaseRestoreStatus)formatter.ReadObject(stream);
            } 
        }
    }

    [DataContract(Name = "job-status", Namespace = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/job-status")]
    public class DatabaseRestoreStatus
    {
        [DataMember(Name = "forest")]
        public Forest Forest { get; set; }
    }

    [DataContract(Name = "forest", Namespace = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/job-status")]
    public class Forest
    {
        [DataMember(Name = "status")]
        public string Status { get; set; }
    }
}
