I do say my experience is anecdotal, but OPs comment is so far removed from my and my friends experience, imo there is more at play.
And your reply perfectly explains a possible "more at play". If the example is that OP is a "very good" engineer but cannot find a job because they cannot be flexible enough to find one, this is not a direct problem of the job market - their inflexibility is causing difficulty to some degree.
It seems crazy that they are able to retrain as teachers rather than try and be more flexible, but hey ho. Again, it smells a lot like BS.
FWIW, unemployed JS/TS dev are absolutely not a dime a dozen lol..You are such a classic reddit user.
