Does your husband have any unemployment insurance or does he have enough savings that might show that he could still support you for at least 2 years even if he remained unemployed?

It is still possible to get a visa whilst unemployed, because other unemployed people have been successful in the past, but it just makes it a lot more uncertain.

I would advise you to encourage your husband to get any job and to prove he is working again before you apply for your visa.
You want to have peace of mind whilst you are waiting for the result of your visa application
