Make these physics fields according to decreasing in job opportunities?

In summary, there is no clear way to rank the topics on this list in terms of job opportunities after obtaining a PhD. The topics are too broad and job opportunities can vary greatly depending on the specific focus and type of work within each field.

The topics on this list are far to broad for anyone to put into any meaningful order.

Acoustics could be related to aircraft noise, noise control, hearing, speech, music...

Fluid mechanics could be pipe systems, vehicle aerodynamics, biofluidics,...

Even these things I have mentioned are very broad topics within the topics you listed and I only chose 2 from your list! Then when you consider that your job could be experimental, computational, theoretical or design oriented there really is no good way to order them.
 

1. What are the top physics fields with the most job opportunities?

The top physics fields with the most job opportunities include: medical physics, materials science, environmental physics, industrial physics, and aerospace engineering.

2. Are there any emerging physics fields that offer good job prospects?

Yes, there are several emerging physics fields that offer good job prospects, such as quantum computing, renewable energy, and biophysics.

3. How do job opportunities vary among different physics subfields?

Job opportunities vary among different physics subfields depending on factors such as industry demand, technological advancements, and government funding. Some subfields may have more job opportunities than others at a given time.

4. Which physics fields have seen a decrease in job opportunities in recent years?

Some physics fields that have seen a decrease in job opportunities in recent years include nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics. However, this can vary depending on the job market and economic conditions.

5. What skills and qualifications are in high demand for physics jobs?

In addition to a strong foundation in physics principles, skills and qualifications that are in high demand for physics jobs include programming, data analysis, and communication skills. Many employers also value hands-on experience through internships or research projects.
