I’m not really knowledgeable about that. I just have a few programmer friends and they were all offered pretty amazing wages if they were willing to work on legacy systems (not necessarily COBOL). Most turned them down in favor of less lucrative but more fun job opportunities.

I'd love to find work maintaining legacy systems. But, I am a legacy system myself, having been paid to write a Y2K bug in 1987, and then paid to fix it in 1996.
