Roman Catholic AnswerSt. Cajetan (or Cayetano) was from a wealthy family. You can read his entire at the links below:

With his own money, and help from others, Cayetano formed a consortium, a bank of sorts, and extended loans to his parishioners, offering an alternative to the usury and high interest loans of the cutthroat bankers. Cayetano opened pawnshops, where he extended low, or no interest rate, loans. Cayetano, always among his flock, became known as the Patron Saint of Gamblers. His parishioners would bet Cayetano a rosary or blessed candle, that he would not do some special favor for them. If they lost the bet, if Cayetano did do that something special for them, and he often did, they would have to pay up. The usual pay-up: they had say their rosaries. Tales of his humility were limitless. He had a special ability to care, and be compassionate.

Who is the patron saint of job searches?

I am by no means a scholar but I place my career concerns before St. Joseph the Worker. The Catholic Church has two feasts for St. Joseph; May 1st is the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker and March 19 is for St. Joseph the husband of Mary. May 1st is a day specifically made to recognize St. Joseph's patronage for all laborers. I would encourage viewing this site: http://www.catholic.org/saints/patron.php. While St. Joseph is the Patron of the Worker, there are many other career patron saints from advertisers to writers, doctors and teachers. In fact, there is usually a saint for each job under the whole spectrum of careers.
