If you have tried almost everything to find work, then it is time to get creative. I you are a fan of the TV show "Two and a Half Men" then you are familiar with the real estate selling mother of the cast. She looks through the obituary column to find future business. She is being creative in her job search and so should you.
While the obituary column will not yield you much of anything for job searches, you could read the business page or the economic news section. What you are looking for is businesses that are building new buildings, expanding production or relocating close to you. Find their websites and dig around for their employment openings. If they have a contact email then send them a cover letter to introduce yourself and why you would be an asset to their company along with your resume'. They don't have to have any job openings but they might in a few weeks and they have your resume to look at first.
Next just do some drive-bys of locations you would be interested in working at. Jot down the names and locations of the companies and then find their website and contact info.
Best of luck in your search and don't forget to get creative.
