I hate being a temp – but I have no choice

Got laid off during the pandemic. Was finally able to find work via a temp agency; each assignment indicated that they would hire me permanently. Never happened; I was always let go after a few weeks or months. I want permanent work, but no matter how many times or places I apply to, it’s either a rejection letter or no response at all. So I’m stuck drifting from one job to another. No paid days off: no work, no money to live. No benefits. But everyone is hiring, right? I doubt it.
