As in are you better off studying Asian history rather than American history, for example?
I can't grab a link right now, but the American Historical Association publishes a report once in a while evaluating the field. Their last was in 2013 and it showed that you do have slightly better odds with an Asian History focus, but if I remember correctly you still have less than a 50% of finding work in academia. Outside of academia, there aren't really any ways to track job success accurately. But in American non-academia there probably isn't great demand for an Asian historian.
So basically its a huge risk no matter what you choose and you can't really "plan" a history career anymore. It sort of depends on who you know and your timing, which no one can predict.

Here are some links of value, OP:
