Current statistics suggest that unemployment rates are low, and the job market is booming. But anyone who's a part of that market right now knows that those statistics don't tell anything close to the full story. 

In truth, the job market is the worst it's been in a long time, with candidates often sending loads of applications before landing a single interview. And those are qualified candidates. Meanwhile job sites like LinkedIn and Indeed are flooded with "promoted" and ghost listings that only exist to boost hiring statistics and farm data. 

Candidates are tired of being forced to create new accounts for online portals that make you re-enter the information already on your resume, and sick of seeing posted pay ranges of $43,000-$130,000 for entry level positions requiring seven years of experience. 

If you're stuck in this brutal market, just know that these 22 memes show that you're not alone.
