A lot of people are under employed or in need of work in this economy.  Many are looking for extra income earning opportunities.  There are small jobs out there, if you get creative.  Think back to those days when you were a kid and did odd jobs around the neighborhood.  I was a bit shy and didn't like baby-sitting but, I earned money selling worms to fishermen.  My parents put signs up in the local bars and I sold 12 worms for a dollar. 

If creepy crawlers are not your cup of tea, try some of these other suggestions.
