There may not be jobs out there currently that you would like or you feel fit in your qualification, but that doesn't mean you can't find one. If you claim you can't, you are lying.
But, those alternatives are all fine and great, but instead of just trying to sell oranges and flap-jacks on the street corner or selling your possessions on ebay, you can get back out into the workforce and find a job to provide a steady stream of money.

play poker. if you are disciplined enough to win 200 a day and quit, it would be the easiest 200 dollar you'll ever make in your life. 99% of the people can't quit at 200, they want more.

sorry but this is a very bad suggestion. Poker is gambling and the casino ALWAYS have a higher percentage for a chance to win. At blackjack it is 60- 40 in favor of the casino (mathematically proved). There is no way that the chances are same for Casino and player, otherwise all the casinos would go bankrupt soon.
Believe me , i speak of experience and have lost thousands of dollars before I quit gambling
EDIT: the only way to turn around the chances in your favor, is if your mathematical genius and can count cards, but then you would not be jobless isn't it?

You forgot to mention you haven't reported your income to unemployment which would make you ineligible. Now once you do that good luck living on your $120 profit once a week, assuming people keep coming back for your tamales.

Hmmmm! Seems that some of the politicians this year said that you could pay your doctor bills with them. Wonder how many chickens or eggs it would take to pay off a visit to the ER with a broken leg?

Unemployment stinks...Here are 3 ways to make cash today or real fast... lets all list some ideas..here are my ideas to make $$$ what are yours. (keep it clean folks!) LOL
I am on the unemployment train with a lot of other folks... here are some of my obversations. This is how I am making more money in addition to the benefits.
(these may not work for everyone... but we can all look around our area to see what we can do in our own situation.. this varies from person to person)
1) Make tamales or get someone to make them for you... find a store or busy street corner/flea market or bazzar/church... make sure you have permission first.. plug in your steamer/crockpot ans start selling tamales!
One bag of masa and tamale fixin's cost about $10 makes about 200 tamales. (each recipe is different this is an estimate) Charge $8 a dozen (this is our going retail price) thats about $136 income for a $10 investment. this makes about 200 tamales or close to 17 dozen.. try it!
2) Go to Ebay... start an account.. look around your garage, ask friends for unwanted tiems or go to resell shops... post photos of things that you can sell... free stuff from yourself or friends are mostly profit as the buyer pays shipping most cases. Get acct set up with paypal and get ready to make money if your stuff sells.
3) Sell chickens/ and deliver fresh farm eggs. ( I run a chicken farm) I also swap eggs for stuff... local honey, fruits and veg.. you can use eggs like money... they are BETTER than money! Usually I get more than if I just paid cash.
I get free movies , toys, furniture....and my garage is FULL of so much stuff
(I am reminded of a song.... "country folks will survive....." who sang that? )
OK yall (I am from Texas) start listing YOUR ideas to make money? Lets see what we can all do. THIS IS AMERICA !!!! I am pulling myself up by my bootstraps... YOU can too.
