Why is it so hard to find part-time jobs for the summer?

I have sent out hundreds of applications for months. Every time I do an interview, they state that they are looking for 6 month contracts or full-time. I really want a job for the summer, but I'm finding it impossible to land one. My friends are also struggling to find jobs. I do get responses from jobs, but their requirements tend to not match the job description they have written. Also, almost every job requires experience, mostly at least 1 year of experience in that sector... how do I get experience if I can't land a job?

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
