My kid and my niece both had to rely on people they know to get minimum wage jobs so it's not just skilled positions, finding a burger flipping job is really hard right now for most young people, most my sons friends group all went through the same shit, 100's of applications to get one shitty McJob.
I have a friend in Washington State who came out of the military, finished his comp sci degree last year, and has had zero luck as that industry is kind of fucked at the moment. He's considering reenlisting but he never loved his time there.
I'm kind of in a niche job, I get a lot of recruiters still reaching out regularly but no way I'm leaving my WFH behind if I don't have to.
It's overall shitty out there, I feel if you don't have a referral/inside track the odds of getting actually hired anywhere are pretty slim right now.
