List previous occupation if currently unemployed?

I was laid off in August 2015, should I list my occupation as what I was doing or change it to unemployed?

You can put anything you like; the IRS only uses that for statistical purposes.

I have never worked but I guess employees are confused with my behavior.

I mean employers.

You can enter whatever you want to for occupation. It has no effect on your tax return.
