While I agree with the first part of what you said, I don't agree with the second (providing I am understanding you clearly). MD surgical residencies are still quite difficult for a DO to match into, regardless of USMLE score...which is shown when you look at match lists: there aren't many DO surgeons going to allopathic residencies (even fewer if you look, specifically, at Ortho and Plastics). Annually, this fact seems to be less and less true, but for now, the reality is that most DO surgeons will be going with AOA residencies.
On the other hand, and perhaps more aligned with the the above user was asking, I have not heard of any DO surgeons having trouble finding jobs after residency. In fact, I do recall a DO ortho resident, who is currently applying for jobs, turning down a job offer for ~450k/yr. Once the training is complete, I don't think finding a job will be very difficult.
