I've sent out 1001 resumes and received but one job offer...in Indiana (UGH!)!
Most positions were pulled or filled in house-mostly by people (still) expected to do their old job too. Some simply haven't hired anyone yet.
The rich are getting richer by laying off employees in droves and expecting the ones left to pick up the slack. THEY call it: "improved productivity". What it really should be called is exploitation.
What's that Bruce Cockburn song: "If I had a Rocket Launcher".........
Because there were no good jobs there for my wife, who would have had to give up her well paying job. We would have wound up making less than 10k more without her salary. We decided to tighten our belts a bit more instead. Also, my friend had an opening at his company, but his boss pulled the job literally at the last minute.
Of course, now HE does the work of two people.

If you really have sent out this many resumes then you could do a few things:
Look at your resume again. Why are people not interested in it? What can you do to make it better? Get advice from friends and family who aren't afraid of being critical.
Look at the roles you are going for. Are you being realistic? Can you do that role? Does your resume emphasise the fact you can do that role?
Look at the way you go to interviews.
