How many applicants are out of work?

I see we're back to the 2019 standard of 300+ applicants for a single job. How many are actually unemployed vs. nervous and just being pragmatic?

While I still apply, I've been spending most of my time leveling up. (My 3rd certification test is today!) To anyone else who has been unemployed during a bad job market - what is the best strategy? Just keep swimming?

I spent pandemic leveling up - several advanced certifications. I continue to.
Employers want applicants that show progress, not stagnant
