Yes, it's absolutely worth learning Haskell to land a job in it.
I did it this way: Learned Haskell in university, found it lot better than other languages in many regards, decided that I don't want to waste my life time using worse tools for 40 years of career when there are better tools around, and set out to get a Haskell job. I taught myself enough Haskell to write real world programs besides university, and got the desired job straight after uni.
I found my job from, surprise ... the Haskell Reddit; in fact, my first job is in the raw data linked from the repo.
It is possible to onboard onto Haskell jobs without knowing the language, but it is way easier and more likely to get a job when you know it reasonably well first.
So do learn it.
