Her job CANNOT have any influence from you. She will feel like you're trying to control what she does.

My wife is currently getting into the job market after being out for 4 years. It won't be easy for her to find something. I could probably guide her to 3 or 4 places that would probably hire her on and would be good paying jobs. But she would feel like I'm trying to control what she's doing.

And it's the same with your wife. Do not even suggest she do anything in terms of her job. That's 100% on her. She has to be the one to look for it and she has to be the one to make a decision on whether to take it. Let her bring up the subject of her finding a job. Let her come to you with news, questions, input. Don't ask her anything. When she does, then engage in supportive conversation. Don't say "have you considered the job at the church instead?"
