A lot of military programs are written in COBOL and actively maintained to this day. The salary of these positions is significantly higher. Its a niche job.

This is also true of banks and other old, large companies with well established infrastructure.

But, I didn't think to look to the military or federal government. Thanks!

Medical field too, I've seen numerous COBOL jobs out here.
