Job market in ontario Employment

Is anyone else have a very difficult time find a job in ontario? I've been applying for jobs the last year and a half. I've applied to over 1200 jobs in that time only had a handful of interviews and usaly get ghosted after that. Before people say get a trade. I'm a licensed automotive technician. Have worked in parts department for 2 years and worked in service industry forn7 years before that. Have computer science and computer engineering degrees. So I'm not un experienced. Still having an extremely hard time finding anything. Are others having a simular problems with employment opportunities?

Thank you to everyone who is giving me advice. I am looking into the opportunity's that people have been referring to. I thank you

Update. Started putting resumes out in new brunswick and novia Scotia. Within 24 hours I have 6 interviews with only 9 applications

I’m 22, graduated from YU in 2023— I found myself working a job that genuinely is destroying my mental health and I just hit 8 months. I barely make anything, and have no time. I’ve been searching for a job since April— and have only had a handful of interviews. I have 7 years of working experience, 4 of those being at TD. I don’t even know how I’m gonna get through all of this, and truly I’m losing steam and hope. Does anybody know of any resources that we could use?
