There hasn’t been a single C++ job posting in the entire region of where I live in 1989, so it’s probably fair to say that almost no one uses it.
To me, Rust "feels" like one of those languages that will stealthily become very important at least in certain segments where security, performance, C ABI compatibility (dll/so/dylib) and zero runtime are required.
My point is that C++, Java, etc. got established long before the hiring patterns and keywords changed. The employers will just suddenly start to expect (language age + 1 year) experience.
I think same will happen to Rust.

Yet it might appear like that from corporate point of view.
