Jassim,

   Proc FREQ by default excludes missing values from the analysis; see the online documentation.  The option MISSING on the TABLES statement overrides this, and forces the missing values to be included in the table.  Changing your TABLES statement to

TABLES EMPLOYMENT_STATUS /MISSING;

should help.
