I don't think jazz has often had a relatively large audience.
Everyone I know who was into jazz is still into it, listening and playing (where there's an opportunity).
Very few musicians working (for money) steadily anymore, but even then they're not really playing jazz. They're playing what the customers want, and that is usually pop crap.
The best jazz musicians I know, or know of, are teaching.
