You could look at the job ads in the Chronicle of Higher Education and see what you see. Also, at smaller colleges, being able to teach basic courses in more than one specialty is almost a necessity.
I’m a non -prestige economist. Government was one of the best places for us so keep that in mind given (gestures broadly). Anything that signals math or computers will do well. Others I have seen are qualitative evaluators, demographers, geographers which are still linked to computers or math but have broader points of view.

No subject is prestige agnostic.

If you’re looking around for whatever PhD will get you a good job, a PhD is not for you.
Artificial intelligence
Econ and business are extremely dependent on prestige and low ranked universities have very mid outcomes. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Statistics and biostatistics? Not fully prestige agnostic though
