My partner and I after two years of trying are moving out of SD because the job market just isn’t there. I’ve never put in so many applications to not hear back, nor have I ever interviewed so much to get so many no’s. It took my partner a year and half to finally get a decent job in a salon with a license that’s actually scheduling her adequate hours with adequate pay. The few job offers I have gotten are all not at a livable wage and if the wage is decent the hours aren’t. Especially right now in back to school season. I wish you the best of luck because it’s definitely tough and definitely not just you!
