Your array structure is slightly off, in

array(
    "name" => "Jennifer Kimbers",
    "age"=>"45",
    "email" => "[email protected]",
    "city" => "Seattle",
    "state" => "Washington"),  // Close bracket here
        array(
            "job"=>"web developer"
        ),

This indented properly is

array(
    "name" => "Jennifer Kimbers",
    "age"=>"45",
    "email" => "[email protected]",
    "city" => "Seattle",
    "state" => "Washington"),
array(
    "job"=>"web developer"),

so your loop is trying to use this as two separate bits of data and the second one doesn't contain a lot of the fields you are expecting.

You need to make sure you close the array elements in the right place / add the job to the same element as the rest of the data...

array(
    "name" => "Jennifer Kimbers",
    "age"=>"45",
    "email" => "[email protected]",
    "city" => "Seattle",
    "state" => "Washington",  // Move ) after the job
    "job" => "web developer"
),

If you need that extra level of arrays, then you could make it a list of jobs...

array(
    "name" => "Jennifer Kimbers",
    "age"=>"45",
    "email" => "[email protected]",
    "city" => "Seattle",
    "state" => "Washington",
    "jobs" => array( "title" => "web developer")
),

The to display them

foreach ($people as $person) {
    echo "<tr>"
        . "<td>" . $person ['name'] . "</td>"
        . "<td>" . $person ['age'] . "</td>"
        . "<td>" . $person ['email'] . "</td>"
        . "<td>" . $person ['city'] . "</td>"
        . "<td>" . $person ['state'] . "</td>"
        . "<td>";
    foreach ( $person['jobs'] as $job ) {
         echo $job . "/";
    }
    echo "</td>"
        . "</tr>";
}

although this way you will end up with a trailing / after the job title, it shows the principle. You could instead of the inner foreach() loop use...

echo implode("/", $person['jobs']);
