"Jobless" and "unemployed" are adjectives that mean the same thing. You could say "her unemployed husband" or "her jobless husband". "Unemployment" is a compound noun. It is used with another noun -- "unemployment office" (the government office where you go to apply for benefits), "unemployment benefits" (the money that you get when you are unemployed), "unemployment insurance", "unemployment problem", etc.

Being jobless is someone who is not employed. Unemployment occurs when a person who is actively searching for employment is unable to find work. While very similar, they are used differently. In your example, unemployment benefits (benefits given to those who have been employed in the past (certain criteria) has to be met. You cannot ask for unemployment benefits unless you have lost a job and are now jobless. Jobless husband would be someone that is simply not employed or someone that may not be looking for employment.

Thank you all!

In that sentence, "the jobless" means "people who don't have jobs," and "unemployment" refers to the state of a person not having a job, NOT the specific people who don't have jobs. Understand?

Unemployment is a situation like where u don't have opportunity to get job from that u can earn money and fulfill ur basic requirement . where Jobless means u don't have work to do, that could be anything for ,learning something, for earning money,for spend time, like" particular time frame responsibilities". I hope u will get my point. Good Day.
