Solely addressing the jobs question, there are more of those for Rails than Django overall, but based on general listings, the market in my city, and announcements at a (well-attended) local users group, if one had Django on his/her resume, one would be courted by a number of willing suitors.

Django/Python also seems to be disproportionately represented (relative to the general market) in HN job listings, so there is plenty of interest and opportunity here, too.

It's not all Django, though. There are many web frameworks -- Flask and Pyramid, for example -- so I would count those jobs , too. Many Python jobs are in the Bay area, so you might not have many where you are from.

Definitely, and I've noticed that the Python community was much more receptive to the idea of using a micro-framework for APIs, while RubyLand has mostly been content to stay on the Rails (versus Sinatra, most notably).
