There is a very good reason why GA jobs are hard to find. It's not that there are too few jobs, it's because there are too many new pilots.
Most commercial pilots would consider themselves professionals but most 'professional' occupations have a yearly quota for the number of entrants who can enter at the tertiary level. Can you imagine how many out of work doctors, lawyers, engineers, vets, physios etc etc there would be if all you had to do was rock up with the cash and say 'I want to be a (doctor)'? Those occupations are regulated because having a glut of unemployed professionals packing shelves at Woolies benefits no one.
The GA industry, and flying schools in particular, are dishonest in the extreme when they tell new pilots how exciting the industry is at the moment and how good your chances of scoring well paying jobs are. When was the last time you heard a marketing manager or CP/CFI tell a prospective student there was only a slight chance of scoring a great job right out of CPL and you'd be better off joining the Air Force?
I know of guys back in the 80's who graduated high school with TE scores in the 700's yet now fly for QANTAS, Cathy etc simply because Mum and Dad had the cash to put them through flying school. Nothing wrong with that, and these guys certainly were not dumb, they obviously had enough application and dedication to work through a very demanding training environment, but the fact is without that cash they maybe digging ditches right now.
By all means allow those with the passion and few thousand dollars to train to PPL and keep that end of GA flying. Fill the skies with recreational pilots!! But if you want to become a professional pilot (CPL/ATPL) then the job market will dictate if it needs you or not. The market forces of supply and demand never lie and if you have too much supply then prices will be depressed. That's why wages in GA are crap. There are simply too many CPL pilots out there who have had their dreams shattered because the job market couldn't accommodate them.
The Air Force doesn't let just anyone commence flying training with them. The rigors of military flying aside, they simply don't have the aircraft/resources/money to accommodate all the pilots that want to fly with them. Guess what? Neither does the civil side of aviation! There are only so many aircraft flying that have somebody paying for them to be in the air.
Let's stop lying to prospective pilots and apply the same rigorous selection standards that apply to other professions.
