Aventures with an ID card

Last time I went to Ecuador I had to get a new national identity card. At the time, like now, I was unemployed. The lady at the counter asked (among a number of questions):

- Work?
- Currently unemployed.
- I'll just write employed then.

So in my ecuadorian national identity card, under profession or occupation, it is written "empleado" which, for a currently "desempleado" sounds sort of hopeful, I guess.
