I feel for you! I had terrible luck finding a job out of college. My first job was beyond horrible - like crying every night horrible, then I worked for a shady company and quit before they went under. I ended up taking a job I was "overqualified" for - it only requires HS no college and the pay reflects that.
But, it has good benefits. I am lucky they took me because I need the insurance, but it's quite boring. You can't walk into an interview and explain that you need a job to pay the bills and get insurance. You have to convince them you really, really want this job that you are totally overqualified for... It's not easy.
Good luck. Hopefully the job market will pick up soon.
