Anyone impressive in Scala, Groovy or Clojure wouldn't have a problem finding a job in San Francisco or NYC. Probably many more markets. My primary is Chicago and I haven't looked but I bet with the developer drought, I don't think you'd have an issue there either. Another hotspot is Austin. Not nearly as large of a market but highly concentrated.
If the OP was serious and not just sounding off, and has serious skill in the mentioned languages, there's no doubt in my mind there's a well paying job out there. Check dice or similar. It's going to be easier finding C++, Java, Python, JS or C# work than Scala, Groovy, Clojure, Go, D, or Haskell.
That said, my friends who are primarily Java developers are using Scala and Groovy, and they're definitely mainstream devs (insurance industry). So it may be more popular already than I assume.
