I've been job hunting for almost one year. It's not as uncommon as one may think! But I'm really concerned right now! I think a lot of this problem has to do with location. Some areas seem to have enough employment for the citizens who reside in the area. Some other places, not too much!

Putting location aside, I find it frustrating that I continuously see the same positions posted. Are these employers actively hiring? It seems like there are a lot people looking for jobs. Can they just simply not find anyone? Are candidates being weeded out by software or AI? How many good candidates are overlooked?

Location is definitely a consideration in finding work. Higher cost of living areas tend to have more job opportunities but then all your expenses go up. Is there a smaller city you'd be interested in relocating to? I think that seems like the best solution

You are right about that OP. There really are not enough jobs to go around and this job market is so competitive. I have even been looking for something remote that is in a different state because I thought maybe that would help me but it hasn't. Jobs are so hard to come by right now.

That's very true, geography can play a huge role in your job search. Some parts of the country are doing better in some sectors, and some areas are just pretty flat no matter the industry. And in some areas there's just a lot of demand so it's very much an employer's market.

Another factor that may play into why landing a job has become more difficult nowadays is the fact that in many cases job applications are being scanned by AI for specific criteria which can lead to many if not most applications falling through the cracks.
