I’ve been unemployed for a month with 40+ rejection letters and my husband is about to be fired

I just really don't know what to do. At every turn we're told no one wants to work. The working class is taking back power and refusing to work for the worst or jumping ship for the better. It should be “easy” to get a job then…hold a job… but no… I'm rejected from bare minimum entry levels positions with Vons, YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, Lows, Pete's Coffee, etc as well middle level positions (all under $50k which won't support my family in our high cost of living area but I easily have the work experience and references to be a strong candidate for) thrown my application at $50k+ positions that have have transferable skills in and would take to training well, but of course all have come back as no.
