"Employment status"

I recently opened an account with an online brokerage who shall remain
nameless to protect the guilty.  Yesterday, I get a letter in the mail
from them asking to confirm the account information, and to send them
any corrections.

Well, under "employment status" for me was "unemployed", and for my
wife was "homemaker".  (As opposed to "employed" and "self-employed".)
Of course, under "unemployed" is the name of the company I work for.

So, I look at the back of the page, where they provide a form to make
corrections, and find:

    Employment status:

        ( )  Unemployed
        ( )  Homemaker
        ( )  Retired
        ( )  Student

That's right...  Those are the only choices.
