My sympathy. It sounds very similar to what would be happening here, now, and after the last two times I vowed never to bother the state with my employment status again. Which is of course part of their objective.
I too find the travel time requirements unreasonable. I found an hour's drive or hour and a half public transport commute too much for me after a few weeks when I was a reasonably fit and healthy thirty-something. If anyone asked me to do it now I'd be a physical wreck in fortnight!
On the other hand it does concentrate the mind on better options.
It does sound as if you have tranferable skills, and I have just got a job on that basis. So good luck.
