Pretty shit at the mid/late career level over here. I have to be over 50 applications over the past month and a half and have heard back in some form or another from about 30% . One out of about every 10 companies that contact me without applying have something for me in my minimum salary requirements range, and only one of those has come back to say, "sorry, we actually filled that one already." I can't seem to get any sort of unemployment pay because my state sucks very particularly hard on that account, and I may have to make it to November to be sure of real employment. Having a great time
