WHY IS IT SOO HARD TO FIND AN ENTRY LEVEL JOB IN THIS FIELD IF DEMAND IS SOO HIGH?

I'VE BEEN STEADILY LOOKING FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL, FRESH OUT OF 2 YEAR PROGRAM, JOB IN THIS FIELD FOR OVER 2 MONTHS. I'VE PUT OUT OVER 25 DIFFERENT RESUMES AT THE OFFICE OF THE BUSINESSES IN PERSON, POSTED RESUMES ON ATLEAST 5 DIFFERENT EMPLOYMENT SITES, HAD INTERVIEWS AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME, AND STILL NO JOB. I WANT TO PUT IN ONE YEAR OF IN THE FIELD EXPERIENCE SO I CAN GO GET MY JOURNEYMAN. I CAN'T FIND ANYONE WILLING TO TAKE AN APPRENTICE. ALL THESE BUSINESSES WANT ARE JOURNEYMAN...IT'S AN ENIGMA, OR A CATCH 22. I HAVE 2 YEARS INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION EXPERIENCE, 3 YEARS OF INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE EXPERIENCE, EPA 608 UNIVERSAL, OKLAHOMA MECHANICAL APPRENTICE LICENSE, A BUNCH OF STATE COMPETENCY CERTIFICATES, AMMONIA REFRIG. OPERATOR I CERTIFICATE. I'M A FAIRLY DECENT MECHANIC WITH ALL THE FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND SOME I'M PRETTY PROFIECENT IN. WE NEED A BETTER STRUCTURED CAREER PATH IN THIS INDUSTRY LIKE YESTERDAY. IT'S GETTING TO BE KINDA STUPID HOW THIS IS PLAYING OUT.........CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIND WORK? WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE MYSELF A BETTER CANDIDATE FOR THIS POSITION OTHER THAN GET 2 YEARS WORTH OF TRAINNING? WHY ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?????????????????????
