"Estar en el paro" means to be unemployed.
"Paro" may be translated as "strike" sometimes, but it is usually said "huelga".

"Estar en el paro" is to be unemployed.
"Estar en huelga" is to be on strike.

In certain contexts "paro" y huelga" can be synonyms, but not always.

Perhaps is different everywhere but "paro" to my understanding means strike. At least where I come from. "paro laboral"

paro (m)
n. stoppage, shutdown; standstill; arrest; strike

I would used estoy parado(stopped) to mean I'm unemployed.
unemployed
desempleado, parado, desocupado, sin trabajo
