I wouldn't say Python has less job opportunities than Java, perhaps if we compare jobs for pure Java or Python then yes. But, I think that unlike Java, Python is more of an implementation language. Say for example data science; most data science jobs require Python, doing data science in Java would be counter-productive, in the same sense, many jobs in web backend now require Python as well. If we were to compare the number of jobs that require java versus python, I think python may be leading.
