Morphology
The meaning 'the situation in which someone loses their job' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'job' (position of paid work) with 'loss' (the state of being deprived of something). This straightforward compositional pattern and cross-linguistic equivalence make the phrase immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Job loss comes from the simple image of someone having their job taken away, a loss like losing money or things. So it now means 'losing work', often when a company cannot afford to keep someone.
