Being unemployed means you don’t have any sources that provide you an income, thus you might be only doing things but are not profitable on your part.
This is clear understanding in the very simple statement.
Yes, the point is, unemployment means someone doesn't make money. If you are still able to make money, that means the person is trying. In fact, even if a person is not yet able to earn money but he is working or trying, he still cannot be said to be unemployed.
It's just that, in fact, in society, perhaps sometimes there is still a strong relationship with what is called work:
Wearing a uniform - leaving for work - coming home in the afternoon - there's an appointment - a clear place of work - there's a definite salary every month - there's a pay slip.
Meanwhile, others are considered to be doing unclear work and unemployment, or worse still, in my place, worshiping the devil to get money.

The trend of our society is to consistently live a routine life under someone's supervision or for an organization. A person who gets a job and a fixed salary is called a worker but the rest are called unemployed. This is a very disgusting thing. I have a friend who finished a master's degree without applying for a job and ended up running a large grocery store. His grocer's shop was remarkable in the whole bazaar where everyone shopped from there and he earned a lot of money from it even though the people of his village said he was unemployed. Isn't that funny?
