Over what time period?

I have a friend who has been unemployed for 16 months now, from tech
Role? Experience?
What is your background? If it's computer science, there are plenty of non tech roles.
Such as?
Defense with a security clearance. See Raytheon. Also plenty of FPGA roles if EE or Comp Eng.
If everyone says no to you, maybe it’s time to look at yourself.
Don’t worry, 85,000 more are on their way to help with the worker shortage.
Bingo! Time to close the door.
85k is a reference point just see last few years every time it’s more than 100k 😜
There are things you can do to stand out but the market is challenging. As a guideline, your application response rate will be about 2% for each year of experience. If you're getting closer to 1 or 2% callback rate with 5+ yoe then there are things you can do to improve that. e.g. 5 yoe I would aim for 10% positive response rate. That's the pattern I've seen with my clients in this market.
100 jobs total? Shiuld be minimum 100 per day
Doesn’t matter
Except it does.
It’ll get only worse until the unemployment rate peaks or something. It only started rising from its bottom a few months back
Yes
