Is 'he' the US citizen, or the foreign fiance?

US citizen - needs to make 125% of the poverty guidelines (guidelines for 2013 listed here), otherwise, a co-sponsor will be needed. It's at the consulate's discretion whether or not to accept a co-sponsor.

Foreign fiance - does not matter whether or not he is employed.

An overview of the general legal requirements for a K-1 Fiancé Visa:

A fiancé visa will get the non U.S. citizen into the United States to get married. To be eligible for a fiancé visa, the non U.S. citizen does not have to intent to live permanently in the United States after your marriage. Whether the non U.S. citizen decides to stay in the United States and apply for a green card is up to him/her. (If the non U.S. citizen knows in advance that he/she won't be staying in the United States, however, he/she could apply for a tourist visa instead.)

In order to be eligible for a fiancé visa, the law requires applicants to meet certain criteria. The law requires that the non U.S. citizen:

• intends to marry a U.S. citizen: The U.S. government wants proof that you've made actual plans, such as place, a date, a type of ceremony and proceedings and more. The person that the non U.S. citizen plans to marry must be a U.S. citizen, not a permanent resident.
• has met your intended spouse in person within the last two years (though this can be waived based on cultural customs or extreme hardship), and
• is legally able to marry: If you or your fiancé have been previously married, you will not be given a fiancé visa until you prove that that marriage was legally ended.
