I was wondering to myself, is that something to do with jerk beef or does it have a different meaning?
I always preferred jerkwad. It sounds like they actually accomplished something.

From an online etymology dictionary:

"tedious and ineffectual person," Amer.Eng. carnival slang, perhaps from jerkwater town (1878), where a steam locomotive crew had to take on boiler water from a trough or a creek because there was no water tank. This led 1890s to an adj. use of jerk as "inferior, insignificant."
