I'd take anything from an advocacy article with a grain of salt.

Considering the only response you got points you to a subreddit, I'm guessing it isn't so great. At best, it is a niche market ( though that could be lucrative ).
I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket. I'd make sure you have some expertise in Java, C#, C++, Python, etc ( don't forget SQL ) where there is a large established market that isn't going anywhere soon. But even more important, get experience in specific technologies ( databases , web servers, IDEs, version control, etc ).
There are two sides to the coin. It is a LOT easier to hire for a Haskell developer, because the pool of jobs is so small compared to the amount of people that would like to work with Haskell in their daily life.
That of course also means that the opposite is true for someone looking for a job—it's a lot harder to find something, so most trudge on, writing code in some language and then use Haskell in their spare time.
The last part usually also mean that the developers you find, as a company looking for someone, usually have a higher lower bar, by the very nature of having invested time into learning a niche language. Of course, that goes for most such cases as above, not that Haskellers are magically better programmers.
