State of being unemployed or not doing anything at all (8)

I believe the answer is:

idleness

(Other definitions for idleness that I've seen before include "Lack of activity" , "Having a loaf" , "Sloth - there may be love in it" , "not working" , "State of inactivity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
