In the USA, it is the status of a worker who is available and interested in working this week, who has no employer or pay this week.

That definition excludes folks not seeking employment (retired, incapacitated, imprisoned, active military, children), and excludes folks working part time who want full-time work. Working and paid is never unemployed. Not looking for work is never unemployed.

Unemployment is the state of an individual who is able and willing to take work, but cannot find it or has not been hired.
