I do not actually develop in C (other than short examples to feed the C analyzer that I work on, which is not written in C) but our customers do employ plenty of C developers. These customers are developing embedded software that reads inputs from sensors, process them, and send the final results of the computations to actuators, in fields such as IoT, aeronautics, rail, space, nuclear energy production, autonomous transportation, …
The list is very much biased by the sort of analyzer we provide. There are certainly plenty of non-embedded codebases in C and of developers paid to maintain and extend them, it's just that we currently do not work with them as much.
I do not know about whether the compensation is better or worse than for other technologies.
