I think it could be intentional:

Most players try to get through new sections quickly to get the best items. Having favorable ratios for higher levels is another incentive. Other players will intentionally NOT move up a level and, instead, keep repeating bronze-level jobs to score as much dropped loot as they can for low energy. Since Vegas tends to have high-value loot, those stall-and-score players can boost their offense/defense and not buy things at the marketplace.
