What kind of work do you do?
I take it you have already applied at all the local big box stores - Walmart, Target, Kmart, and such - grocery and home repair stores, as well as all the temporary employment agencies. Have you considered looking into getting a grant to go back to school and upping your skills? I think you've discovered customer service and call center jobs are the first to go in a bad ecnonomy and many of those jobs had already gone overseas to India anyway.
Believe it or not, I plan on reading this whole thing some day.
