Java and C# jobs outnumber Python jobs by a considerable amount. You're right in thinking that it's economically useful to know Java or C++, but that's not to say that knowing Python isn't advantageous as a springboard language. Python is easy to learn and quick to program in; good for teaching programming fundementals.
And whilst Python jobs are rare, I'd expect they're considerably better paid because of that
