I can only speak to what I have seen so this is anecdotal, but I have not had a problem getting a job with a degree in mathematics (bachelor's not PHD). Now, it is true that those jobs tended to be in related areas (data analysis, programming) rather than directly in mathematics, but the degree has still served me well. I have also been turned down for jobs looking directly for mathematicians because I currently only hold a bachelor's and they required at least a masters. The same goes for physics. I have friends with master's in physics that have never had problems finding a job, though the jobs were rarely directly in physics. Rather they got jobs working with engineers or in programming (or in one case, pure management), but the degree still served them well.
