I'm a sometimes hiring manager and often a team lead on Clojure projects. I have never had an issue hiring someone who wanted to work in Clojure. It's much harder finding devs worth hiring than finding devs who have immunity to the terrible parens allergy. Even training devs isn't an issue. C#, Java, Python, PHP, C, JavaScript, and Ruby developers have had an easy time being productive on the first day because of how high level the language is. Projects tend to be very domain-driven, and a decent editor config let's people get started right away. Within a week of reading code and a tutorial on syntax, I have a perfectly reasonable dev on my team making meaningful contributions to maintenance and feature development. Locality, immutability, and brevity make for an exceptionally fast on boarding experience even when the dev had never used clojure or a lisp before.
