Jessie's in Team Rocket because her mother (Miyamoto) used to work for Giovanni's mother ("Madame Boss") and was one of her top agents.
Jessie was orphaned when her mum went on a mission to search for Mew and was lost in an avalanche. She may still be alive but her whole plot was discarded after the first movie....I don't believe her dad's ever been discussed.
Presumably, Jessie was allowed to follow in her mother's footsteps because Miyamoto was simply that good of an agent that Jessie's numerous failures aren't a huge issue to them. It's the only reason why I can think that she's allowed to stay despite their numerous failures!
Team Rocket backstory is really interesting, they were my favourites of the whole show...far more interesting than any of the other characters.... :P
