Try the European Job Mobility Portal. It's a list of positions available to residents of the US and EU. However, many listings for Sweden require you to be fluent in Swedish, as well. If you are, good luck! otherwise, get your learn on at the online FSI language site for a crash course.

You don't need citizenship to live in Sweden (and you won't get it by marrying someone, only after years of living there legally). Work is the hardest way to move to Sweden (or anywhere in the EU). You need to work in a field that's lacking qualified workers, and have education/skills that local applicants don't. Most of the time, permits are only given for highly skilled jobs in areas like engineering, science and health care. If you're in a long-term relationship with a Swede, you can move based on that and are allowed to work. Just a warning, it's still not easy to get work. The economy is bad, you definitely need to speak Swedish and most people study so if you don't have certification in something you're at a disadvantage. I moved this way, and it took me almost 2 years to find a job. It's easier if you have contacts/friends in a position to give you a job. The easiest way to move is to study, but Sweden plans to start charging tuition for international students next year. If you don't have the savings to cover those fees and living costs, you'd need student loans/grants from your home country. You're allowed to work while studying. To study for a Bachelor's you usually need to speak Swedish, but you can do an exchange program or a Master's in English. If you're in a band (or a tech/manager) that has a regular income, that's another possibility. You have to show an employment/promoter contract with a guaranteed wage. http://www.migrationsverket.se/info/168_en.html Otherwise, you can stay in Sweden for 90 days out of every 180.. but can't work during that time.
