Job market there is for econophysicists in academia

Main Question or Discussion Point

Hi all,

I am just wondering how much of a job market there is for econophysicists in academia, as compared to say theoretical condensed matter physicists. Is it easier to get a job? How much so?

Also, what are some good schools for econophysics research?
