No, jobber's don't get the second most screen time in the show. Jobbers are dudes who hang around the roster who's only purpose is to get into the ring and lose. Perhaps if the only way you can conceptualize media like this is a win record then you could make a really poor argument, but clearly Vegeta's narrative role fulfills WAY more than a jobber's burden--Goku's rival, Goku's training partner, a foil to Goku's personality, plus a dynamic character arc where he went from a geneocidal maniac under the employ of a space tyrant to a caring father, husband, and protector of the planet he originally appeared to destroy.

The dudes that lost to Hulk Hogan weren't jobbers just because they almost always lost to him. They played an important role in the storylines that were being told.

The closest to a jobber is probably Yamcha. The audience isn't intended to invest in him, and he's an easy character for any minion or mook to beat up to prove a point. Tien is the next closest. Krillin tends to lose a lot but he is more important to the story than just proving the power of the bad guys.

lol fucking yamcha, haha that is right
