This is the impression I get from the situation. It sounds like even his friends haven't seen him, so it's not that he's ignoring only you. Since he just got a job after a period of unemployment, I'm sure he's just very concerned about doing the best he can. Give it a few weeks, he'll mellow out I bet.

But like SparklingDot said, anytime something is bothering you, communication is very important. So, let him know in whatever way you can that you're unhappy at the moment, even if its on his answering machine. If he really cares, he will find the time to talk to you. If he continues to ignore you when he knows there's a problem, then it's time to consider breaking things off. I hope things work out for you, it sounds like the relationship has lots of potential.
