Should the person making more per year as a married couple filing jointly put the child on

as exemption for work or should the one one making less?

If you are filing married jointly (MFJ), then you two are filing just one tax return. There is no such thing as one spouse or the other taking a child - you both take the child as a dependent.

@BillM223 @Hatterman Are you asking about what to put on the W-4 you provide to your employers to tell them how much tax to withhold from your paychecks?
