Ask HN: Who has been unemployed for more than 6 months?

I'm curious how many people are having trouble getting hired lately? I mostly voluntarily quit my full time dev job (web based ERP software powered by Perl) last June 2020 after covid cut hours. I figured it would be an easy step to jump from Perl web developer to Django. So I re-wrote my linkedin and resumes to mostly brand me as a 'Django Expert'. I'll admit my experience with it is more limited (compared to Perl offerings), but I have used it off and on for the last 6 years or so and can easily deploy apps using traditional HTML templating or rest based apps on modern javascript via Django rest framework. Yet after sending out over 80 applications and doing about 60 interviews, I have not gotten any offers. I'm starting to get a bit nervous as savings are getting thin. I don't think anything is wrong with my resume since I normally hear back from 80% of what I apply to. I'm starting to feel that perhaps the python/django market is overly flood
