Micro Focus Cobol, used it for a decade. On pcs. Against IBM DB2 databases.

I think New Jersey's problem may not be a lack of actual Cobol programmers but how the current load can be managed, distributed. It sounds like they're not inventing new UIs, they're just having a problem handling the volume coming in.
