He's lying, using you for money and drinks to excess. He's using you. And 'sort of' unemployed-he hasn't gotten unemployment or stimulus money from the government? I've seen that first hand 'sort of unemployed' where they're working under the table for cash but those jobs are not the best resume fillers if he's looking for a career type job.
Hate to say it I think he's using you period. And you were not too harsh to evict him especially if he is not contributing-did he even clean, mob, run a vacuum, do laundry etc. One last thing there's a chance he this was already part of his life. 'Partly unemployed' gave him an excuse to live that life full time.
Good Luck. Stay Safe!
