What are your thoughts on today's job market? Unemployment is low but it doesn't feel that way to me. Does it to you?

I've been unemployed for 6 months, & it's my 1st time being unemployed in my adult life, when it wasn't my choice. I've been diligent, but I see the same jobs I did months ago online, so are they really hiring? Recruiters have also been saying jobs are drying up, but that doesn't align with low unemployment.

Anyone else feel the same? I'm curious about your experience.

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
