Regardless of the scarcity of jobs in your area, you need to find a better one. What you describe are his problems, not your own. Do everything you can distinguish yourself from the competition, i.e. other jobseekers. Build a stunning personal/portfolio site if you don't have one already, work on side-projects in your spare time and share the source on github, write a blog, consider relocating if that is an option for you. But definitely don't simply settle for what you have now. You are right that it is an abusive environment and you owe it to yourself to move on.
