employment status
Working or not
Employment status is a person's relationship to work at a given time—whether they are employed, unemployed, self-employed, retired, or otherwise.
The term appears in official surveys, job applications, and benefits paperwork: What is your current employment status?
It may also distinguish full-time from part-time work, or permanent from temporary positions.
