Anyone else having a hard time finding a job?

I’ve gen applied to literally everywhere in my home town and no one has gotten back to me. It’s so irritating and frustrating. Like I want to work, and I don’t know why no one is at least emailing me back.

I’ll use Five Below for an example. I have applied there at least 15 times, and they have not gotten back to me any of those times. I’ve even called, left my phone number and went up there physically to talk to someone.

Finding a job is impossible.

Edit: I find a lot of my jobs on Indeed. I’ve heard that going to the actual company website to hire is better because Indeed applications don’t go through. Is that true?
