Employment and Earnings Terms - Final Proposal

(Note: Work in Progress)

Replaces #376 and #377 The following are planned for the November release.

Note: We should examine classes and properties for cases where schema.org terms can be used instead (to avoid needing a middle man mapping process ala EOCred conversion). For example, we can probably use schema:Place instead of ceterms:Place (but need to investigate its impact on the available properties for the class).
