Susiannah, sorry about your husbands job. I have just been through it, and if it is any comfort, there are loads of good jobs out there, despite the picture the media paints. Personally I have been spoilt for choice. I don;t know your husbands occupation but if it is not too highly specialised I am sure he will find good opportunitieis out there.
Keep the faith and keep positive.
Good luck!!
