统计的行情is OK. 至少我当初的数学系，统计方向的普遍比数学方向的机会多许多。具体情况就看你是偏哪方向的统计了。综合interview过我的公司来看，基本上统计有两大应用方向。Biostatistics and marketing/business analysis。Assuming you do regression well, if you wanna do biostat, survival analysis is a must. For business area, logistics regression is crutial.
It seems pharma and biotech companies are a little harder to get in than marketing analysis companies. Most bio-related companies want 2+ yrs related experience. For biostatistician, a PhD is mostly required. Business analyst positions usually require less.
mm是纯stat, biostat or 偏经济的？偶就是pure stat的，找工作的时候通杀....
Btw, except for all mentioned above, 2 more things are important, SAS and communication skills.
Good luck.
