OoP, p 302, US ed:  "but she drafted a bit of anti-werewolf 
legislation two years ago that makes it almost impossible for him to 
get a job."  No specific mention of what the law entails, 
unfortunately.
I don't think the book mentions exactly what Lupin does in his 
absences.  Presumably it's work for the Order.  But what if Lupin 
spends all that time looking for any kind of work he can find?  He 
probably doesn't need to work much if he's living with Sirius.  
Certainly Sirius would be happy to help out his friend with food and 
such, if only to have some regular company other than Kreacher and a 
screaming portrait of his mother.  Maybe Lupin doesn't want to be 
locked up in the house with stir-crazy, self-pitying, Sirius.  He 
probably doesn't like to rely on anyone else for the basic 
necessities of life (I know I wouldn't, no matter what my 
circumstances) if he can help it.  So he goes out for extended 
periods of time hoping to find something that pays.

Just a bit of nonsense at nearly 4am,
