No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
Your New York bail lawyer will counter the prosecutor's arguments by giving reasons that you should be released without having to post bail (ROR), or that you should have to post a low bail. Ultimately, the judge will decide whether or not bail is required and if so, the amount.
Bailing someone out of jail who has a history of untrustworthy behavior can create headaches. You're essentially agreeing to put up 10 percent of a bail bond that could be tens of thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of dollars. If they fail to show, then you went to all that extra trouble for nothing.
