Have GD jobs always had 100+ applicants within a few hrs of a job being posted??

When did jobs having over 100 people applying to a job within a few hours start??? It’s become impossible to find roles with only 10-50 people applied? Unless you see the posted with 30 minutes of it being posted? These aren’t even for major corporations either? They are for smaller businesses out in the boonies that are looking to hire a design to do everything for them and only pay them $22 an hour.

I think the country truly isn’t giving real stats on the current unemployment because this is unbelievable.
