Hi, I am new to this forum. I have few questions regarding eligibility for citizenship. Is there any requirement that a person applying for US citizenship ( five years before, I was the primary application, for our GC applications for all my family, through employment category ) should be continuously employed for all the five years before mailing application ( N400 ). The reason is my spouse had been working for all the duration after our GC, but I was out of work & had to take care of family. Would I have to be employed when I apply for citizenship ? Thank You..

No, there is no such requirement for continuous employment.

Your right. There is no formal requirement I can find, but
the interviewing officer has some room for interpretation
of the rules and may use lack of employment with other information
to drawn an inference.

My N-400 included three periods of 5-6 months duration with neither employment nor physical presence in the US. Wan't a problem - they never even questioned it.
