Get current job name in Github Actions workflow

I want to reference the running job name in one of its steps. These are the options Github gives us: https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/context-and-expression-syntax-for-github-actions#job-context. The closer one I see is "job.container.id". Would that give me the name I set to the job? It doesn't sound like it. Unfortunately, I can't no longer test this since I exceeded the limit of free Github Actions usage

Update 2023: The current method for getting the current job name:

      - name: Get job name
        run: |
          # Both work:
          echo "Job name is $GITHUB_JOB"
          echo "How about ${{ github.jobs[github.job].name }}"
