I believe the answer is:

bored

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'how one may feel when unemployed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'or in bed' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'or' going within 'bed' is 'BORED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bored that I've seen before include "Used drill on" , "Unstimulated" , "Palled on" , "Filled with ennui" , "Pierced" .)
