If There’s Such a Workforce Crisis, Why Can’t I Get a Job?

I 24f, just got my masters in international relations with a focus in conflict studies. My end goal is war reporting, but right now I’m just looking for a customer service job to keep the bills payed. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry since I was 16, but can’t at the moment due to a dislocated elbow. I’ve been non stop passing out my resumes to front desk and administrative assistant jobs with no luck. I’ve also been applying to journalism outlets and think tanks. Of the many, many jobs I’ve applied for, I’ve gotten 1 interview and 2 hiring managers viewing my profile on indeed or LinkedIn. Surely, if there was such a labor crisis, people would be jumping to hire a qualified candidate asking for a dollar over min wage?
