I don't care where ya live, there's always something to do if your willing to do it.
Try Security work. It's an easy to get job if you can breathe and bathe. It's a good fallback job too if you're in between better stuff. (I'm falling back on it now since I got laid off from my shipyard job). Currently I drive around all night listening to the radio and taking pictures. It's not unpleasant, I've done worse. Anyone with a heartbeat and a brain can get a standing post somewhere babysitting a mini-mall or an H.O.A.
Also check out Temp Agencies. It's usually lower wage work with no benefits because they get thier share for finding it for ya, but sometimes it's ok, and they do the legwork for you. As long as you can breathe bathe and show up the next workday after payday you can find a steady gig, if you really want it.
What the heck is KGB? (excuse my ignorance)
