Is the job market that bad rn?

Non tech person here been applying to jobs for a couple weeks that I’d ordinarily at least hear back from. Haven’t heard back from a single one. Is the market that bad? I have a solid resume and have been applying to almost anything and everything. I’m talking applying for just above minimum wage hourly pay positions and I can’t even get a response even if it’s a rejection. I get the economy is bad and gas prices and blah blah blah but these businesses clearly need employees if they have these jobs posted. Someone tell me I’m not crazy and this job market is abnormal atm?
