Yes. That's one direction to go:

If we consider $C$ the set of all computer scientists and $U$ the set of unemployed persons, then $$\forall x(x \in C \rightarrow x \notin U)$$


We can alternatively use predicates, and designate the domain to be the set of all people.

Let $C(x)$ mean "$x$ is a computer scientist."

Let $U(x)$ meaning "$x$ is unemployed."

Then we have, $$\forall x\Big(C(x)\rightarrow \lnot U(x)\Big)$$
