Labor market is too tight, everyone wants workers.
The industry that wasn't affected by a large demographic of near retirees was technology. Because age discrimination was built into the culture. Not a lot of old programmers sticking around. They get RIFed right outta here. So while there is a shortage on teachers, nurses, trades, and police there is a surplus of junior and mid-career tech workers.
Sometimes this requires a reframing of what one’s talents are when applying for jobs outside what one might consider a normal window.
Also, I might recommend getting a recruiter to work for you to throw more mud on the wall so to speak.
