On the first of the month here, they do a thing where you can post that you are a freelancer or an employer seeking a freelancer. That is coming up in a few days. You might check that out.
You should also look for gig work. By 2020, 40% of US workers are expected to be doing gig work of some kind. Regular jobs are becoming less common. I have been doing gig work and my income is trending up while on the street. I do freelance writing, part time and intermittently (due to health issues). That is gradually leading to better things for me.
Best.
