Would being unemployed for a year period after getting 2 year green card jeopardize my status?

Hi,
Could you please give me some information about the
things risks those may jeopardize the legal alien’s green
card status after getting the 2 year green card through
marriage under the Missouri state law, please? For
instance, would the status be jeopardized, if a green card
holder through marriage is unemployed even a year after
getting their 2 year green card? Would that be a problem or
cause any kind of limitation for further procedure is there
any timely concerns that the legal alien has to be aware of?

Your immediate assistance, greatly appreciated. Thank you

If you received your green card through marriage, there is no requirement that you ever work since your status is not dependent on your employment or employment with a specific employer.  You are free to work or not work, as is your choice.
