Feeling useless in a new city

I recently moved from a small city in Wisconsin to las Vegas to be with my boyfriend and I am not having any luck with making friends or getting a job. I've always been shy and the friends I have back home I've known since 1st grade. He keeps telling me I should get a job (I'm trying) and then I'll make friends but it's hard when he has the only car and his work schedule is inconsistent, public transportation is not an option I have a severe fear of it from an incident when I was younger. It's like back home I had it all and now I have nothing and it's really upsetting..
