Sure it does.  $jobstates, and $jobtexts for that matter, is an
associative array, not a traditionally indexed array.  So, you can
just use ${(k)jobtexts} to find the current job numbers:

mastermind% sleep 50 &
[1] 26864
mastermind% sleep 100 &
[2] 26865
mastermind% sleep 20 &
[3] 26866
mastermind% kill %2
mastermind%
[2]  - terminated  sleep 100
mastermind% echo ${(k)jobstates}
1 3
