'I'm having a little facts confusion here. So job openings is extremely rare except for the UK?'
No no no, I only say the UK because i know a physics Phd graduate and know that banks love his type as do all employers in the uk especially IT firms, where i live in Cambridge, they advertise everywhere for Maths and Physics(including Astro) grads for graduate developer jobs, you wouldnt guess that a recession had hit that industry . Look at the skills Physics grads learn, analytical and logical thinking abilities, advanced IT skills that overlap into every part of life.
Physics opens so many doors that other degrees cannot, go for it, i would if i was you.
I only say the UK because i have no idea about other job markets and wouldn't give someone false hope, but it's an educated guess
