What do you do when you live an area where there are very few jobs in your field, but your spouse's industry is thriving?

I live near a moderately large city (I’d prefer not to reveal). It's nowhere near as big as SF, LA, DC, or NY, but it’s still a well-populated area. I have been an editor my entire life. I moved to the region because my husband got a great job in the tech field, and he has a prosperous career here. 

I lived here for five months before I found an editing job, and I was elated to get it. I worked there for two years and then a few months ago, I got laid off with zero warning. The company wasn't doing well financially and had to let me go. They gave me a great letter of recommendation, I have awesome work samples and a fantastic resume, etc. etc.

BUT it is taking me forever to find another job. I am almost afraid to look at the job listing sites every morning because I know I'll just be constantly disappointed. It's not that I don't hear back from most of the jobs I apply for (though that is the case), it's that there are RARELY any jobs posted that are relevant to my skill set. Plain and simple, this is not an area where publishing or web media thrives. Most jobs here are tech-related. I don't have the qualifications to work in the software industry. 

I want to work. I check 10 job websites every day, and I include telecommuting jobs in my search. I am just beginning to dread looking at job listing sites though. I feel like I'll never get a job in my field as long as we live here. I don't want to be an unemployed housewife the rest of my life. If I wasn't married, I'd be very open to moving to a different city, but I am, so it's not on the table.
