Anyone else struggling with finding employment?

6 months so far. Very much a buyers-market for senior roles, they can afford to be picky. I got turned down for a job yesterday where there was literally only one thing I on the spec I hadn't already done, and it would be easy to learn. They didn't even want to interview. And this was where I knew the hiring manager personally.
Received wisdom is to expect 6 months to a year to get rehired.
@smh unemployment is low because everyone exhausted their benefits. Once they use up their max weeks they don’t count towards the unemployment number anymore.
42 exhausted himself with his own narrative.
There are a lot of jobs BUT the employers are ghosting the people applying for jobs. 2-3 months to get an interview or decline is crazy.
Mr.42 lost his tongue
Minimum wage jobs are in need and a hot market… That’s about it Mr. 42
I saw layoff news every day. Tesla Google Amazon, How market is good?
The good news may be big company suspended green card processing. Less competition.

Honestly it’s a hot job market for folks with solid skills. Unemployment for some reason is very low. Job hopping for a solid raise is a cinch for go getters with solid skills.
It took me 6 months to find a job. Try harder and be prepared to stay on the bench for atleast 6 months - 1 year.
