If you have correctly exposed the image, then the principle things the camera will be doing to produce the jpeg is increasing sharpness, contrast and saturation. All RAW files will need this doing to a greater or lesser degree post-capture - that's simply the nature of digital capture. The advantage of processing from the RAW file is you have the full set of information the sensor captured to play with, not a cut-down file. Keep practising with the RAW files - it will pay dividends in the end.
