Answer 1 of 2
As long as he's financially stable
To me a job is just a signed that you're responsible and financially stable. That's it. So if he's still financially stable then yes.
However, dating, being in a relationship, and of course marriage, can be expensive. Plus, you naturally want to provide for the people you care about. Not being able to changes your personality.
I tend to stay away from people who are in a hard place financially. I think it's more important that they figure out how they're going to pay their bills and eat their next meal before they start getting into a relationship where they have to worry about feeding an extra mouth and entertaining an extra person.

Answer 2 of 2
Ambition is Sexy
Ultimately its not really about whether he's unemployed, so much as it is about his ambition. It's like you said in your question, there's a lot of people that are unemployed these days. The difference is that some people sit at home on their ass watching tv and doing nothing and others are out there interviewing, handing out resumes, or even starting their own businesses. Personally, I think that kind've ambition is sexy.
So to your answer question directly...
A) I wouldn't say it's an automatic turn-off unless I get the vibe that your 30 years old, living at home with your mom, and don't give a crap about getting a job. If he's out there hustling and working hard to get back into the workforce, it may even be a turn ON!
B) If I liked the guy, I wouldn't have a problem dating him while he looks for a job. Just might have to cut back on the nice dinners and dates, which isn't a big deal to me.
