Rustlings thread exercise, why do I NOT dereference Mutex(Struct)?

I'm learning Rust and have no experience with threads. I'm going through the Rustlings course and I've solved the threads1.rs exercise, but I don't understand why my Mutex struct doesn't need to be dereferenced.

use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;

struct JobStatus {
    jobs_completed: u32,
}

fn main() {
    let status = Arc::new(Mutex::new(JobStatus { jobs_completed: 0 }));
    let status_shared = Arc::clone(&status);
    thread::spawn(move || {
        for _ in 0..10 {
            thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(250));
            let mut status_shared = status_shared.lock().unwrap();
            status_shared.jobs_completed += 1;  // why not *status_shared?
        }
    });

    let mut jobs_completed: u32;
    loop {
        jobs_completed = status.lock().unwrap().jobs_completed;
        if jobs_completed < 10 {
            println!("waiting... ({} jobs done)", jobs_completed);
            thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(500));
        } else {
            break;
        }
    }
}

Based on Chapter 16.3 of The Book, I would have expected to need to assign to

*status_shared.jobs_completed

in order to get to the jobs_completed field, but that generates the error:

error[E0614]: type `u32` cannot be dereferenced
  --> src/main.rs:16:13
   |
16 |             *status_shared.jobs_completed += 1;
   |             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is the difference that the book gives a pointer to a simple type and the above code gives a reference to a struct?
