jetbrett has it spot on. If you are prepared to drive out of your suburb, there are many jobs out there for the taking. By the same token don't expect the 'job' to be flying a gold plated King Air earning 100K a year. You have to work hard.
I am proof of this as I just got my first Charter gig the last week in my home state. Its only casual but the conditions are still good and it is with a reputable country operator who pays a wage.
get your name out there and network, network, network.
