Is not being unemployed a requirement for citizenship?

[jhegedus42]

Dear Forum Members,

I am an EU citizen, I've been living in Finland for 5 years now, I am planning to apply for citizenship.
However, I am currently unemployed and receive benefits from the state (I've been employed for 4 years but the contract ended).
Is being employed a pre-requisite for getting the Finnish citizenship?
Where can I find out about the precise requirements for obtaining a citizenship?

Cheers,

Jozsef
