Searched in four or five major cities. (Not SV, which is financially untenable for me.)

I'm sure there are numerically plenty of places that would hire me, but finding them is pretty arduous, esp since many of my declines were after all-day travel interviews to the opposite coast.

It's a big change from the past, when jobs would invariably just fall in my lap.

I never understood the purpose of in person interviews at most companies for out of town candidates. It seems like it would make more sense for all involved just to do a video conference.
