Folks reading the above may wonder "how did Zach know that attribute 
JobStatus existed, and what the various numeric values mean?"

Turns out that Appendix A of the HTCondor Manual documents many of the 
machine and job classad attribute values, including JobStatus and its 
numeric values.
  http://htcondor.org/manual/current/12_Appendix_A.html

Also a lesser known shortcut is enter "condor_q -help status", which 
will display the normal condor_q usage text plus append the following 
helpful table at the end:

JobStatus codes:
         1 I IDLE
         2 R RUNNING
         3 X REMOVED
         4 C COMPLETED
         5 H HELD
         6 > TRANSFERRING_OUTPUT
         7 S SUSPENDED
