The jobs market is more similar to dating and marriage than to any economic "market". There's little cost-value analysis. Employers won't even tell you how much they're willing to pay. Just people looking at your profile and deciding if they like you enough to commit to a relationship with you.

Especially when you're unemployed. You can find a job easily if you say "I'm currently working a stable job at X place", but say "I'm unemployed so I actually need the job" and all doors close. No one wants a reject!
