Since COVID that number has gone down yearly considerably the number of applicants have gone from a few hundred to barely 100 and in the end I'm barely able to get 4 or 5 people. Gig ain't bad, Government job just over $30/hr to start but no work from home, at least not right off the bat. I think that pretty much kills it right there.

It might be different because I'm in tech but it seems like there are so many people looking for jobs, it's insane. So many big organizations doing layoffs and "re-org's", so I do find it surprising that you aren't getting as many candidates as before.
I've seen tech jobs gets hundreds of resumes within a few hours of being posted on LinkedIn. I still think there's a huge supply of laid off workers vs. demand, but very strange for your postings.
The trick is to work for a international company without an office in Vancouver (but you also aren't getting FAANG salaries) if you want remote.
