I know plenty of people who have been looking for bottom-feeding jobs and NOT finding them. There are some, and things are loosening up a wee, wee bit. But, no, you won't find many of these jobs available.
For instance, there was the national news story of a few months ago when thousands applied for jobs at a new McDonald's. And the Eastern European immigrant community is travelling back home as many of the transient construction and lower end jobs dry up.
For some idea, check out the government employment agency site which lists such jobs by locality.
