Sure, plenty of work. PHP powers a large majority of web sites. Almost all of my customers use PHP to some degree, often exclusively.
A big portion of the PHP stats (number of web sites using it) come from WordPress. While WP sites need less development than sites built from scratch, or with Laravel, they still need maintenance, custom code, and system administration. Someone who can keep a WP site humming and enhance it can find plenty of work.
If you can't find suitable work that has very little to do with a programming language. Businesses don't need more PHP code. They need people who can add business value and deliver on requirements. Programming languages are almost incidental in the big picture. My advice is to focus on selling yourself based on the value you offer to an employer or customer, not on a language.

- biql 3y agoThis is my thinking too, yet for some reason, 90% of job desciptions insist the candidate has N years of experience with M stack. As if someone who was building websites with Rails for 10 years is somehow not qualified for building the same websites with Symphony.
