According to The Bible examples, any job that will pay the bills and support his/her family (1 Timothy 5:8), allow necessary time to 'put God's Kingdom first' ( Matthew 6:31-34) enabling them to give their time and energies to people for FREE (Matthew 10:9), would work well. Paul was a tent maker, and supported himself that way, so as not to be a burden on the congregation. (Acts 18:1-4) (Acts 20:24)(1 Corinthians 4:12)(2 Corinthians 12:13-16) Even Jesus Christ was a carpenter at Nazareth until 30 years of age.
We find no paid clergy in the Bible. "Ministers of God" were supported by their own labors and heart motivated assistance from individuals in the congregations when necessary. (2 Timothy 1:16-18)(Philemon 13)(Matthew 6:24)

What if your Pastor says you can t get one?
Please clarify what you are supposed (or not supposed) to get.
Are you supposed to give the first of your labor to the pastor?
No. If a pastor is demanding payment, report him or her to the authorities as a fraud. Religious services are free and always have been. Pastors themselves traditionally do not get paid, but earn their living through helping others with manual labour.
Do you tithe from your unemployment benefits?
This one I think is up to the individual. Check with your pastor. One pastor said we are supposed to tithe off of our labor, so I think you should discuss with your pastor. It wouldn't hurt to tithe for the blessing to come from it.
