Well, obviously the Daily Prophet is not a part of the MOM. And I know you 
mentioned that they can work in shops, but I don't think that should be 
glossed over. In the real world a substantial amount of the population runs 
private businesses. This leaves room for wands, robes, or as the twins have 
displayed jokes. I am sure there are thousands of goods and services for 
businesses wizards can run. Also, Bill works for Gringotts not the MInistry. 
Plus when the Weasley's went to Egypt they mentioned that some of teh tombs 
were enchanted by ancient wizards. Maybe there are archeological wizards. 
Not to mention all the other possible scholars and authors that write books 
for the wizarding world. And let's not forget professional Quidditch player.

My point is, it may seem like there are only a small amount of jobs, but 
it's not true. The fact that the wizard population as a whole is small is 
what makes it seem like that. I really think wizards have as many (if not 
more) job prospects as muggles. Which leads yet again to my question, why 
doesn't MOlly work? But I digress.
