Many of those vacancies seem to be the exact same one, listed on a bazillion sites. Some sites actually even pop up because they "fabricate" the vacancies on the basis of keywords, just to get you to their front-page.

I've been working in IT for some years now, and I never, ever encountered a running COBOL system in any company, and never met anyone who (still) knows the language.
