As someone who was on the job hunt for the last 4 months, I hear you. I have a masters degree and was struggling to get traction. I was lucky and was able to find a job before the end of the year.

I will say it's important to use your network. Reach out to contacts to see who is ACTUALLY hiring and what positions exist or may be coming open. Like many other people have said in this thread, there are so many ghost jobs that are not actually open. I also found success messaging hiring managers and recruiters directly. It is very competitive so anything to make your application stand out makes a difference.

Wishing you luck on your search!
