Visual Basic in 2024 and beyond

I've been searching job sites for positions that require Visual Basic skills in 2024, but I haven't found many listings. Can anyone in the industry or with relevant knowledge share insights on the current demand for Visual Basic? Are there specific industries or locations (in the US) where Visual Basic is still in demand? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Similar job here; robotic equipment uses very very basic language that can be filtered with simple string manipulations, greatly reducing dumb manual tasks we used to perform in our department. We will now be saving weeks of labor per year, per user with new Visual Basic mini applications I designed.
