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.

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?
