Speed stability differences between a jet aircraft and a propeller-driven aircraft

Hi folks in the book i'm reading it states;

The jet aircrafts speed stability is much poorer than that of a propeller driven aircraft because of the following reason;

Thrust changes with speed, which helps to improve the speed stability on propeller-driven aircraft and does not improve it on jet aircraft

Basically i don't understand it, and would appreciate it if somebody could elaborate
