Reading the comments it seems like there may be a bunch of Rust jobs, they’re just not advertised as much and many of them are filled by senior people with expertise in other areas and languages. In particular it seems like a lot of jobs at Amazon in the AWS department use it heavily. It might simply be too new to really see heavy recruiting for new hires yet. In another decade as teams expand and senior people move to other positions or retire we might see a sudden surge in companies looking for Rust devs.
The OP does have a fair point. Rust jobs are harder to find and generally require niche knowledge in some area more then rust knowledge.
