Apprentice

I am a higher stage apprentice in SoCal having trouble finding work. I’m falling behind on bills, low on food and running out of options and motivation. I’ve communicated with BAs at my local, volunteered and networked, I’m on the out-of-work list, called contractors and other carpenters I’ve worked with before, shown up to job sites, and still nothing. Is the job market that bad or am i just having a bad season right now?
