There are countless opportunities. I mean things depend on your background, but even if you just have a solid appearance, a university degree, and speak English natively then you can find plenty of work. When I was first moved I was working online and moving also conveniently ended up increasing my effective income a healthy chunk as living expenses substantially declined. My wife got into teaching and decided to move to management.
You mentioned being involved the restaurant business and that's of course always another idea. Depending on where you're interested property prices are probably going to be a small fraction of the US. And as an expat you already have a niche. I've never looked into the statistics of it all, but at least anecdotally the failure rate of expat type restaurants and bars seems to be much lower than your normal failure rate in the US.
One thing's for certain though. You're going to get pretty poor information just relying on stuff advertised on the internet - let alone stuff being advertised in English. I think the best advice would be to take a holiday scouting things out and see if it's for you.
