Also in use in Taiwan, https://www.google.com/search?q=%E5%BE%85%E6%A5%AD+site%3Aptt.cc

The remark about Mainland I suppose came from MOE dictionary, but newer cross strait dictionary doesn't mention it anymore https://www.chinese-linguipedia.org/search_inner.html?keywords=%E5%BE%85%E6%A5%AD

Editor: This entry is in the earliest edition of cc-cedict I have (Nov. 1998).

But 待業 has been used in Taiwan at least as far back as the mid-90s.
An example from 1996:
像這樣在尋尋覓覓的過程中一定會出現的短暫待業空檔,就是所謂的「摩擦性失業」。

btw, "await" isn't followed by "for" -- "await" means "wait for".
Diff:
- 待業 待业 [dai4 ye4] /to await job assignment (term used only in mainland China)/
# + 待業 待业 [[dai4ye4]] /to await for job assignment; to job-wait; to be unemployed (predominantly used in mainland China)/
+ 待業 待业 [[dai4ye4]] /to wait for employment; to be unemployed/
