Not sure where Stay at home mom fits in... so I picked Currently unemployed, but looking for work!, because I'm not getting paid... and jobs pay right?
Yes yes, I know I make longwinded comments, but that's just me >.<
I should proof read my comments more, but I won't...
So keep in mind I'm filled with typos

student and work; been that way since my first year
Hausfrau und Mutter -Stay-at-home-mom- isn´t a "job" here (Japan´s highly gender selective society is even listed in the German wiki article for Hausfrau) but you wouldn´t be counted as unemployed either and receive the benefits of a "proper" employee as long as you partner is part of the work force. You would also be part of a different tax bracket than your husband.
The word unemployed is actually very hard to define from a legal standpoint and people who are undergoing rehabilitation treatment or are too sick to work also don´t count as unemployed. Unemployment statistics are thus very hard to decipher...

I work part-time at a deli.
I'm surprised how many full-time people there are. I wish I could find a good, stable, full-time job. 😔

I think this would fall under "unemployed and not looking for work".
"unemployed and not looking for work" rather implies a certain type of situation
...and it's most certainly not a situation of "would love to study/work, but sadly cannot", "home maker" or "having to take care of someone".
I'm not going to vote for an option, that gives a completely different impression of my situation, compared to what it really is.
It may, technically, be correct, but it's completely misleading.

I agree.
The wording "unemployed and not looking for work" implies that I don't want to work and not actively looking for employment opportunities.
I want to work and I'm actually looking at jobs for the future. I just can't work yet; I had major surgery recently and I've been told to avoid work for 6+ months to heal.
I never really thought about it before, but from what I see, it seems Stay at Home Mom is commonly considered as unemployed since there are many "Jobs for Stay at Home Mom" mmm...
I will change this world mmm...
So the world can change me mmm...
Full-time employee and postgraduate student at night, though life hoping for great result mmm...

I am a full-time employee. I work at a dental office. I would like to go back to being part-time and having more time to myself.

Yeah, my mom was technically a stay at home mom until I entered elementary school, but she ran an at-home day care at the same time. No idea how she would have fit into the categories presented.

Needed an option for "self-employed." 😁 I chose the closest option: part-time employee, though I'm an independent consultant, not an employee.

Hm.
For me "Student, also working though, but looking for more work" would have been a correct choice. Also technically "work multiple jobs", though they're all small things and probably soon "Student, no other job, but looking for work" (since the projects I'm working under are about to run out of funding/time) unless I find something new before that.
TL;DR There's no way this poll could contain all possible options.
