I'm originally from Los Angeles and built an extensive career in the retail banking industry (executive management/training) and have been met with such dismal failure in finding a decent job here in the southeastern region of Michigan. I understand the job market here is somewhat dead, however can someone PLEASE shed some light as to which resources are the best in terms of finding a solid job that pays over $15/hr or a salary of $35K and above? Are there any good companies around here that I can actually walk into, hand in my resume and meet with someone?

Try temp agencies. Things are dead there so most companies probably have people laid off they could call back before hiring someone from out of state. Try for jobs a long way from home away from Detroit where you may not have as many unemployed people around you.

We went through this same situation. Turned out it took my husband 8 months to find employment. We did the best we could but money was tight and frankly it was quite frightening financially. Instead of telling her she needs to look sit down and brainstorm how you can go about getting through this time. She might just come up with that as part of her solution. I too stayed at home for 7 years and although I didn't go back into my field we decided to take jobs that would allow one of us to be at home at all times. The jobs didn't pay as much but we both felt good that once my husband could locate an appropriate job I would quite the job I had and resume staying at home. Financially if you need it check into your insurance and see if you can borrow against it. This will buy you some time to get back on your feet.

I work for a trucking company that delivers about 40-50 loads a week to BASF in Lavonia, MI. If you learn to drive a truck, which isn't all that hard, and don't mind being away from home a few nights a week, you can easily make $900-$1100 per week. And yes, we do have women that work at the same company as I do.
