Typing is a skill of accuracy and speed and learning to do so is a good investment but it is not that important.
Improving your speed will not improve your productivity much but if you were writing a book then an accurate and controlled speed of typing can save the writer maybe an hour a day.
Typing is merely an understanding between you and your keyboard.
In my profession, typing has proved fruitful as I currently type in excess of110 words per minute.

Typing (of course the right way) is a skill acquired through constant practice. 

This helps you to increase your mental alertness, focus and give attention to detail, increases concentration, helps you to read and type (2 actions at a time) at the same time (kind of multi-tasking skill) which is not acquired by everyone. 

This is a special quality of people who type.  Any job which requires the above qualities to perform it effectively will undersand the value of typing, since this is kind of a manual job (even though only fingers are involved), which increases efficiency and helps in time management as well.
