So is the job market officially dead right now?

I’m 35 and have been working since I was 18. I’ve never gone without a job longer than a few months. My last role was eliminated September 1st. I’ve had a few interviews since then. Attended a few job conferences. Taking a few classes at my community college to skill up.

Why does the job market feel so stale right now? I feel like I’m connecting with people, but there’s not traction you know what I mean? Like people would like to give me a job but can’t?

I’ve been thinking maybe it’s the economy. That is has every company holding their pennies for a rainy day. I’ve never experienced such a flat job market before.
