From what I hear it sounds bad, but imo we are nowhere near as bad as 2008 and dotcom crash. I landed jobs in those markets by taking the initiative way up and beyond just applying. I called and talked to people at the company, and I even walked into companies and introduced myself without an appointment. Probably get arrested for that now, though. If you're really worried I would drop the remote requirement.
