I think they're confusing unemployment with difficulty finding jobs.

It's true that a lot of software engineers get laid off and take unemployment while theyre between jobs

It's also true that its super easy to get a job if you're an experienced software engineer.

This says more about companies simultaneously laying off and hiring than it does about the availability of jobs in the market.
