There are no differences in employment opportunities.

Exactly what "extra math" for the BS are you referring to? BACS with calculus I/II, discrete math, linear algebra, statistics...what else does the BS have that is not in the BA in terms of math requirements? The reality is that it is highly school dependent as to what degree they award, and sometimes what specific college it comes from (perhaps BACS from the Math department and BSCS from the Engineering department, etc...). Many top schools offers BACS programs with the same math and cs requirements as the BSCS programs. A BACS does not mean less math. As for employment, any employer who will not consider you due to a BA vs. BS is not worth working for. You should be much more concerned with having solid cs skills and slaughtering the technical interview.
