Description
Hey,
I've noticed that in 1.33.0 the job-filters.php template got this line:
https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/blob/e9256aa03c9a7e9ad1c37fd186de81dbdc149038/templates/job-filters.php#L39
I understand where it comes from and that it was an easy decision here: https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/pull/1708 but not all the themes are using the filters or the Search button on a second row. For example, I have to overwrite the template just to remove this one line only to accomplish a layout like this:

Maybe a padding-bottom, or a boolean based filter, would be more useful rather than resetting the entire float row.
Not a big issue, as I said, themes could overwrite the template, but maybe we can elegantly solve this, without the need of maintaining a template version for just one line.
Cheers

Research direction
Start with templates/job-filters.php at the referenced line and read pull request #1708 to understand why the two-row layout was introduced. Compare the current template behavior with themes that keep filters and the Search button on one row. Done means the layout is flexible without requiring users to maintain a copied template.
