Please provide a complete sentence.

 

[Pete Noire]

The sector is growing even in conditions of unemployment/joblessness.

Perhaps:

The XYZ sector is growing despite the recession.

OR

The XYZ sector is growing despite a high level of unemployment at the present time.

'Joblessness' sounds like a desperate ploy to avoid an over-use of 'unemployment'. It's not a common word.
However, 'the jobless' can be used as a synonym for 'the unemployed'.

 

[Tarheel]

"The sector" is meaningless, thus my alternatives. You could also say, for example, the healthcare industry or the automobile industry.
