Regarding hiring, it seems to me that most of the smaller companies aren't hiring clojure developers but rather training other developers.
I know one local former java shop that now mostly uses clojure for new development and non of their team of ~10 had any prior clojure experience. In my own startup I'm one of only two developers and the other guy had no prior clojure experience but picked it up in a matter of weeks. To add to the "who's using clojure" conversation: I know three companies here (Dublin, Ireland) who are using Clojure heavily (and one or two more US companies who use it who have operations here but I think they're already mentioned on the lists here).
