For what it's worth, I do see some jobs for Clojure in the UK and EU on LinkedIn, not as much as other programming languages, but enough that I think I could get one if I were looking for a Clojure job.

The number of roles in all of Canada for Clojure is about 40 on LinkedIn, easily less than the number of applications a job hunter could send out in a day.
