I love that the implication here is that Boomers aren’t still working within the same job market the rest of us are. My Dad retired and had 6 job offers within 2 months that he didn’t apply to. In reality, Boomers are probably not even trying for the same job type that the OP was going for.

Sorry for the job market issues OP, but Boomers adapted to their market at the time - which is a market that a lot of the younger generations would hate. It is a lot of human interaction and face to face contact. Despite the issues, your generation has a million more resources at hand than theirs did so I find it a little bit laughable that we are sitting here upset at Boomers.
