JobPosting schema issue: Number is not a known valid target type for the baseSalary property

I'm a little confused about the new JobPosting listing on schema.org, specifically the baseSalary property's expected type.

The docs say that Number is one of the three expected types:

schema JobPosting SS

But when I test the page on Google structured data testing tool I get this warning:

Google warning

stating that 'Number is not a known valid target type for the baseSalary property.'

Nothing weird in the code, just a simple span with the baseSalary itemprop:

<span itemprop="baseSalary">36000</span>

Am I misunderstanding this or missing something?

Cheers

In case someone wants to use HTML elements for the baseSalary instead of ld+json schema:

<span itemprop="baseSalary" itemtype="https://schema.org/MonetaryAmount" itemscope>
    <span itemprop="value" itemtype="https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue" itemscope>
        <span itemprop="value">30</span>
        <span itemprop="unitText">HOUR</span>
    </span>
    <span itemtype="https://schema.org/salaryCurrency" itemprop="currency">USD</span>
</span>

This is not schema.org error. This issue related specifically to google validator & rich snippets recommended properties/guidelines (I agree that an error message does not contribute too much information).

For rich results - Google Required MonetaryAmount as a type for baseSalary (Not number)

"baseSalary": {
  "@type": "MonetaryAmount",
  "currency": "USD",
  "value": {
    "@type": "QuantitativeValue",
    "value": 40.00,
    "unitText": "HOUR"
  }
}
