Looking for work blows.

So I have been working at Entenmann's for the last year or so part time and I'm about to graduate in the spring (currently taking no classes, only need one to graduate).  My boss came to me a month ago and told me that my job was going to be downsized, that I would be let go.  I didn't think it a big deal at the time because I have more than enough saved and am well on my way to graduate with my Bachelors in Biochemistry.  No biggie right? 
I'm just started my last week today and have been looking for jobs for the last 3 weeks and I didn't even get a bite.  I usually average about 3-4 jobs on a week day and 8-9 on a weekend and NOTHING.  I spend a good deal of time writing each application, each cover letter, my resume is pitch perfect, and it's not like I'm looking for jobs that I'm not qualified for; it just seems nobody wants/needs me.   
I got one call back a week and a half ago to what was IMO a dream job.  It was for a lab technician position at the  Anesthesiology Department (60K/year) in a local hospital and I' be doing research with an MD PhD, thats a big deal.  They called me scheduled an interview, I nearly jizzed my pants, then called me back an hour later and told me that the original employee was coming back so I wasn't needed. 
I'm not giving up on finding work but is it just me or is anyone else out there having a rough time finding something?  I feel like getting my bachelors would help alot towards getting a f/t job it shouldn't be this slow right?
