If I may suggest, calm down a bit. So your house is a bit messy. Is that really something to get worked up about? Try to keep it in perspective. Yes, it's her responsibility to clean up her messes.
If it's really a problem, don't say anything and don't do anything but clean up your own messes. Allow it to pile up so it can register as a priority for her. Right now, she's probably got a one track mind: find work. It can be difficult to have a well rounded disposition when in a situation like that. She is trying to contribute by getting back into a career, so you have to give her credit for that. It's not like she's lounging all day AND not doing anything to help out around the house.
I've personally found that nagging only occasionally works for children. It's never a good idea for adults.
