Because of the complexity of human psychology, unemployment probably is intrinsically bad, in the sense that it’s a terminal goal to be ‘employed’. I can imagine being ‘self-employed’ were I provided with a minimum (and satisfactory) income without needing to be officially employed, but large numbers of people already doing this don’t seem to be satisfied or happy doing so.
