Have you tried signing up with any temp agencies? My roommate was going through a dry spell two years ago -- she had dropped out of university and needed a job. After a few months of being on the waiting list for a temp agency, she got hired to sit in the basement of an insurance company building and pull staples out of paper... for six months.
The staple job was mind-numbingly boring, but the job experienced helped her get her foot in the door at another insurance company, and now she has a much better job dealing with group benefit claims.
It's still not a job that interests her, but it pays the bills, she has her own cubicle, and she is building up experience that she can hopefully use to land a better job.
(She is also continuing her education part time now that she has enough money for tuition.)
EDIT: Corrected a spelling mistake or two.
