I write F# on Windows for a living.
However, I don't get this "give me a job" mentality as you say it - is it wrong that c# is a highly sought-after skill in the market?
There's already a tremendous(but small) community behind F# . I've never seen a question on F# go unanswered in most popular forums. With the start of F# foundation and open-sourcing of F#, I am confident F# will survive even if MS drops the ball.
The taint on F# is that it's a Microsoft language - that's enough to make some people never consider it, and that's okay. That baggage is historical.

- opminion 14y agois it wrong that c# is a highly sought-after skill in the market? I wouldn't say "wrong", but certainly the fact that C#, in most people's minds, is glued to Visual Studio (and .Net), is more to the advantage of Microsoft, than to the society.
