Yeah just hit the streets and get a job at Home Depot for now. You'll find it, there are jobs around. Most of us have done that sort of thing- I drove trucks, worked heavy equipment, building construction, etc. It's not the end of your flying career.

If you have right-to-work in the US and meet the other ATP mins, any regional will hire you. I'd suggest Skywest or Compass.
If you have at least 25 ME, many regionals will let you get the remaining 25 in the sim during new-hire training.
You don't need to retake the ATP unless it's expired, or you want to get grandfathered after 31 July.
