Our grandparents survived the Great Depression in the 1930s by pinching their pennies and using their heads. Some moved back in with their parents or their parents moved in with them. Watch the Waltons reruns on TV (good night grandpa, good night john boy). There was always farm and garden work, canning fruits and vegetables and services people still used like shoe repair, barbering and appliance repair.
Today these basic jobs include working in grocery stores, gasoline stations, lawn service, hair styling, electronics repair and farm produce harvesting. Many of our grandparents went to work for themselves. If they had some customers, they had started a business. Their next problem was to get enough customers or lines of business to earn enough to live on.
If you are unemployed and looking for a job and you have skills that match jobs that are open, visit those Temp Services that handle your type of work and sign up with them. Most companies are either filling the jobs they have with Temps or through referral by their own employees. You may have skills you could use to open your own business. All you need is a customer and you have a business. Whatever you do, make sure that you work at something you like to do.
