Looked up too tyred. Quite a journey indeed.
As for casual labor or work in the USA, there is a book titled "Work Your Way Around the World." Ranches out in the western part of the country are supposedly known for having casual work available. It is even possible to stop and offer to paint a house that needs it with the owner providing the materials, of course. Many small towns and almost ever city has day labor organizations that might give some casual work to the bicycling traveler. You would locate them under employment in the yellow pages, and they all seem to have their own names, e.g., Handy Andy, Labor Finders, Labor Pool, Manpower etc.
