Maybe. I thought it had more to do with smart contracts, where the the mathematical and research oriented nature of Haskell helps somehow? I figured it had something to do with the "if it compiles, it works" aspect of Haskell (granted, Haskell has bugs like any language, but it's closer to the compiles = perfect standard.)

I know the one and only Haskell job I personally looked into was about smart contracts.
