We can only talk in very general terms as we don't know the specific details about your experience, qualifications, salary expectation etc, and matching them with possible vacancies in the Bath area.
Biggest problem is a number of people have been and are being made redundant, and hospitality and retail are the two of the sectors worst hit. There just isn't money available for people to spend on non-essentials, and demands have fallen steeply. While there are pockets of industry that seem to be doing better than others, the general picture is pretty grim. For you both, but perhaps more so for your husband, the lack of UK experience will be a big drawback when competing for jobs, except in rare instances where they are looking specifically for someone with US experience. Why train someone when there's an abundant supply of trained and experienced workers? Can he network with existing trade and customer contacts in UK, and specially in the West Country?
I do hope you are successful in your relocation.
