Whats the difference between...
a homemaker and being unemployed?
To me they mean almost the same thing. My take on this is that a housemakers stays home and manages a house, whether there are kids or not and does not work. Being unemployed means to me that you are not working, so therefore you tend to do things around the house so that someone who is working doesnt have to do them. Maybe I am wrong on this, but I just dont see a difference between the two other that homemaker is just a fancier word for being unemployed.
The main reason I am asking this is because one of the compaines that we use to deal with ask your employment status and if you select unemployed they wont take it, but if you put homemaker they will.
Re: Whats the difference between...
I see what you're saying.
I think "homemaker" implies that it's a conscious decision that a person is going to be someone who takes care of a home/family. I think unemployed implies that they don't have a traditional job in the workforce and are likely looking for one.
I agree with this. Don't they calculate the unemployment rate based on people who don't have jobs, but are actively looking for a new one? To me, being a homemaker is its own type of employment, while unemployment is the lack of and search for a job of some sort.

I also agree with this. I think it's a conscious decision to be a homemaker and not actively seek employment outside the home, whereas unemployed means they would most likely be looking for a job outside the home.
Don't unemployed people get unemployment benefits and homemakers not?
Also homemakers are not included in the labor force, unemployed people are.
