This is ridiculous. Of course there are no "haskell jobs". Nobody knows haskell. Looking for haskell programmers is like looking for a four-leaf clover. Actually it's more pointless because a four-leaf clover makes a nice instagram story. So if haskell is so great, why don't you teach a few of your friends to program in it, and increase the number of haskell programmers available?
The only reason there are "python jobs" is because django exists. The only reason there are "ruby jobs" is because rails exists. The only reason there are "javascript jobs" is because browsers exist. The only reason there are "C++ jobs" is because algorithmic trading and video games exist. The only reason there are "scala jobs" is because the JVM exists (and concurrency is hard). What real-world problem does haskell solve that python does not, or what "killer framework" is implemented in haskell? Why not make it and prove that haskell is worth learning?
All of that said, if you really want to program in haskell at a job, find a company that is all-in on microservices. They may allow you to write small services in haskell, as long as they know that if you leave the company, and they can't find one of the friends you taught a haskell for great good, they can find a java dev to rewrite it.
