I'd keep doing what I'm doing.

But if I was unemployed, and without a business, then here's what I'd do:

I'd go to every single contractor's office in the city. I'd offer my physical labor for $15 an hour - under market value.

Construction workers in Chicago average 10 hours a day.

So 10 hours x $15 an hour x [30 days x (5/7) - 1 day looking for work] = $3,064.

Problem solved.
