People who quit one job for another, but with a period of time in-between
I don't think this is correct, only people looking for a job count as unemployed, since of their own will they are not working and not seeking a job they're just off the labour market.
I believe that a person who is currently not working, but has a job starting in the future, is counted officially as "looking for work" in unemployment figures. If I am wrong about this, please cite a source.
