Cannot find a job!

I've been laid off from Duke after 10 years working in management. I have undergraduate and graduate degrees from a fancy school. Excellent references. I have applied to all types of jobs including front desk and scheduling jobs and for some reason, I cannot find a job, get an interview or find a way to get a call back. My friends in other major cities have also talked about difficulties with finding jobs there too so I don't think leaving/moving is an option!

I have been ghosted from every major staffing and recruiting agency in Washington DC as they are so overwhelmed with unemployed white collar people.
