Plain PHP? I am in EU and I rarely find any job postings for plain EU, usually they go for one of its frameworks.
Try LaraJobs where they post laravel-oriented jobs

PHP Jobs in 2024
Hello everyone,
I apologize if this breaches some code of conduct or I'm just posting in the wrong place. I was just laid off from my employer of 12 years. I had been a PHP developer there for about 7 of those years. Now looking for a new job in PHP and finding job listings REALLY sparse in some cases non existent. I live in the South East United States. I've been looking in the usual places such as LinkedIN, Indeed. & few other well known ones. But everywhere I look its just C# or Java.
Is PHP really just that dead in the commercial market ?? Or am I missing something ?? I can clearly see a vibrant community here and still see Laravel continuing to get better and better. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Really I'd go for ANY PHP jobs. Especially great if they use a framework. Phalcon, Laravel, even CakePHP. Thank you for the suggestion!

@soapyillusion Check in the LinkedIn and https://larajobs.com/
At least you will get the idea of whether PHP is still fit for the commercial market!

I searched indeed and saw over 300 php job listings in the South East United States.
Found only 9 laravel specific jobs.
Over 4000 in java. 7000 python, I'm wondering if that is accurate.

I am amazed you even found 37,000 python jobs!! I am barely seeing anything in the space either. Then again I am not seeing 300 php jobs. Maybe my filters are to specific ...

Shows 300+ jobs but maybe all aren't php.
Sorry about python, it's 7000. I am fixing first reply also.
For example here is one in Georgia:
