Just to throw in an additional two cents.
I have felt this way several times when my husband has been out of work in Los Angeles, Chicago, and NW Indiana. He has a Master's degree, Army experience, and can sell anything to anyone. I always thought he wasn't trying hard enough - until it happened to me this Fall when I moved here.
I took a job that I knew was a poor fit. I had been applying for jobs since last Spring and have continued until very recently. The job was so stressful that I even applied to Target, office admin jobs, PRN day jobs, etc. From the time I started applying, until about three weeks ago when I finally landed something new, I got nowhere.
So, this is just to say - it is incredibly frustrating, but go easy on your husband. It's probably not just his ego. Even with years of admin experience, a PhD, child care experience, and a willingness to do anything, I found myself just waiting (for what seemed like forever).
It doesn't hurt to talk openly with your husband about it. He's probably feeling 10 times worse that you're describing - not being able to provide for his wonderful wife and baby girl.
Again, just my two cents with a bit of recent experience thrown in.
