I have been laid off for 5 months. Due to financial hardships my family and I had to relocate to a less expensive city. I have 4 years experience in my field and was making $85k. After months of ghosting, I got a response from one of the companies who is offering $21.50 per hour, This job is entry level (0-2 years), requires a high school diploma (I have a bachelors) and my commute would be an hour or longer. Do I just accept the job? Or keep applying?

I am sorry to hear that. I know the job market is rough right now too. I would probably accept it and then keep looking to find something that pays better.

Except that job because it sounds like you may not have another one for a while. You can keep looking while working. It’s better to have some income coming in then to continue to be unemployed for six months.
