I haven't counted, but I doubt there are more than 20,000 jobs in the US in those fields, with about 500 or 1000 openings per year. Typically, less than 10% of applicants are accepted for advanced degrees. Just take a look at how few jobs there are on this list.

The American Astronomical Society has fewer than 8000 members.
